This can be useful if you have the key relic and a junk item or other cheap treasure to spare, as the teleport could put you in a better position to get to the exit.

There's a simple card system that affects speed (blue), attack (red), defense or evasion (yellow), and traps (green). Everyone can see each Hunter's hand, and there are 100 cards in the initial deck. When that deck reaches zero, the GON appears. Usually, this is a ''HopelessBossFight'' but with an Exit card the person holding the Key Relic can teleport out and end the game.

* {{Hopeless Boss Fight}}: To an extent, GON. There's an awful lot to explain about him, though:
** First and foremost, GON only appears on the map when there's no cards left in the deck. This is only fair because it means the players will soon have no cards in hand, ridding the game of much strategy. As this Hopeless Boss Fight does result in a loss, they made it avoidable. End the level quickly, and you'll never see GON.
** GON will always chase after the player holding the item required to win the game, only attacking other players if they happen to cross his path along the way.
** GON's power is enhanced by risk. Namely, by the penalty for dying to him. If the player holding the victory item dies to GON, the mission is over, and ''every'' player in the game will lose every item they're holding, some of which can be quite powerful and rare. This typically will cause non-computer players to cooperate to end the level as quickly as possible when GON appears, even if they will not be the ones to win, just so they can keep their posessions.
** GON is, indeed, of absurd strength, sporting insanely high offensive and defensive power that can tear through most anyone with relative ease. If you have the brilliant idea to protect the player holding the victory item by barricading a walkway from GON using the other three players, you'd better have three bodybags ready. His movement speed, which is also nothing to scoff at, means that fourth player should not take those three turns to run for granted.

* LuckBasedMission: The whole game, to some extent. Players "roll dice" to move, attack, defend and make speed checks. The dungeon is randomly made, placing the treasure boxes, Hunters, flags and exit just anywhere. The fastest game can last two turns if a player is within one move of both the key relic's treasure box and the exit. Also, there's a haggling system for selling the relics that's basically a coin flip between 10% and -50%.

His movement speed, which is also nothing to scoff at, means that fourth player should not take those three turns to run for granted.
** Despite all this, it is possible to kill GON, and even without cheating or unfair amounts of character building. A small group with high strength and defense can work together to kill him. However, there is no reward for doing so, and this trope shows its stuff when he dies. Without skipping a beat, the warning sign will flash again, the awesome rock tune will kick back in, and GON will reappear, just as ready to go as ever. Effectively, this means the only decent reason one should try to kill GON is if he has the player holding the victory item cornered.
* LuckBasedMission: The whole game, to some extent. Players "roll dice" to move, attack, defend and make speed checks. The dungeon is randomly made, placing the treasure boxes, Hunters, flags and exit just anywhere. The fastest game can last two turns if a player is within one move of both the key relic's treasure box and the exit. Also, there's a haggling system for selling the relics that's basically a coin flip between 10% and -50%.
* MegaCorp: [[spoiler:B PHS]] is a classic Type 2.
* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Getting all 100 relics in the game, though doing so earns you nothing.
* PaletteSwap: There are eight character models to choose from in character creation. Each one has ten color combinations.
* StalkedByTheBell: Let the deck run out and the GON will eat everyone alive, starting with the person with the Key Relic or whoever gets in the way first.
