Cluster Mines Card
Card Text/Abilities[]
ACTION: Discard this card to drop 1 cluster mine token set.
When a ship's base or maneuver template overlaps a cluster mine token, that token detonates.
Corrected Detonation Text[]
When a bomb token detonates, the ship that moved through or overlapped that token rolls 2 attack dice and suffers 1 damage for each hit and crit rolled. Then discard that token.
Original Detonation Text[]
When a bomb token detonates, the ship that moved through or overlapped that token rolls 2 attack dice and suffers all hits rolled. Then discard that token.

Notes[]
- Unlike Proximity Mines, Cluster Mines do not deal critical hits. Any crits rolled cause normal damage.
- With the errata'd detonation text, each die rolled has a 50% chance of dealing a damage, and expected damage per mine is about 1.0. Per mine, probability is about 50% for one damage, 25% for two damage, and 25% for no damage.
- With the original detonation text, expected damage per mine was about 0.75. Per mine, probability was 30/64 (47%) for one damage, 9/64 (14%) for two damage, and 25/64 (39%) for no damage. (source)
