On 1 of 3 destiny cards for each color is a hazard warning that the instruction manual states specifically will be used in a future expansion ----

How do you think that it will be incorporated? (And I guess, how would you like to see it incorporated?)

Well, if it's anything like the Hazards seen on The Warp, whenever someone draws a destiny card with a Hazard Warning, they'll have to draw a Hazard card that will make the upcoming encounter more difficult.

If so, then Machine will have to be more careful, Dictator will get another new toy, and Tick-Tock may lose more tokens (since the offense will have a tougher time in Hazard encounters).

I suspect it will be very much as Toomai describes. I expect to also see Reverse Cone encounters in the Hazard deck, and things like it. I believe Hazards were first developed by Matt Stone and/or his group. I found their deck to be too brutal, so I changed the content for the one I use. My deck also has cards that can help the offensive player, and some cards with secret effects (and worthless secret effects). I also have a rule for Hazard use- you only draw from the deck if you wish to make an encounter after your first- so it's optional (at the cost of making more than one encounter per turn). I suspect this will not be the case for when it comes out in an upcoming expansion.
