If used outside of an applicable event and on a space where there is no released Explosive Sheep or Cow: Nothing occurs besides this item losing 1 "charge"; upon losing a 3rd "charge", you lose this item.

If this item transforms into a Filled Pocket Ball then back into an unfilled one, its charges for this type of use are reset to 3.

Filled Pocket Ball[edit | edit source]

Standard Use[edit | edit source]

Choose one option (with the "simply release" option being available for every creature and with the other options only being available if the listed creature is currently inside the Filled Pocket Ball; with all options, the creature is released):

Simply release the captured creature, reverting this item to a Pocket Ball; if the captured creature was unique (excluding Tyrannosaurus Rex), it returns to its event; if you release the Goblin Potion Master, you have a chance to gain Slowing Poison for 2 turns; if you release a Tyrannosaurus Rex, it kills you, and you start the T-Rex Global Effect (which returns the T-Rex to its event when it wears off); simply releasing a Cow or Sheep does not put one on the board for movement or for potential capture with Pocket Ball.
