Designer's notes:
This character is modeled after the character of the same name in the movie Sword of the Valiant played most excellently by Sean Connery. The movie is based upon the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
The different strategies available to this character are too numerous to mention. Just try not to be all things at once, and pick your battles very carefully.
Do not over-rate your Illusory Aura too much, as you may find it also has a down side. Other characters are less likely to team with you, and if you get in the way of too many characters, you may find yourself as a target for extinction.
Should the Green Knight decide to begin play at the Large Campfire, simply reveal all of the woods chits, and place the Large Campfire; then re-mix the remaining chits and place then randomly onto the remaining woods tiles.
