Index -> Playing the Game -> Card Types -> Character
Character cards represent people who work for or with Stargate Command, including people from other planets you encounter on your journeys through the Stargate. There are two subtypes of characters: team and support.
Team characters are your primary explorers. You begin each game with exactly four team characters in play in front of you. Each one has a rating in all four of the different skills in the game:
Culture
Science
Combat
Ingenuity
Support characters assist your team in overcoming obstacles and completing missions. They are played from your hand during the game. A support character usually has a rating in only one or two skills.
Many characters are portrayed in multiple versions, each one a different character card. Though each version shares the same title, they have different subtitles.
