Famine is a Hex from Nocturne. It is a deck order attack that discards Actions from the top three cards of your deck, then shuffles your deck.

FAQ

Official FAQ

  • The revealed cards that are not Actions are shuffled back into your deck.

Other Rules clarifications

  • When all revealed cards are Actions, you still shuffle your deck.
    • If your deck is empty after you discard the Actions and you have no cards return to your deck, you simply do nothing—you do not shuffle your discard pile to form a new deck.

Secret History

Famine started out discarding the $3-$6 cards. "Action" is simpler. Originally the other cards went back on top, but letting you order the top ends up helping you too often.
