Overview

Facilities cards are one of the three main card types, along with character cards and mission cards. They are usually based on locations in the Suikoden series.
Each facilities card has a certain number of Construction (CON) points needed to clear it. If the player who plays the facilities card meets these criteria, the card is cleared, and the bonuses assigned to the card are awarded.
Meanwhile, the opponent must try and clear the amount of Blocking points listed. If they do so, the attempt to clear the facilities card is blocked and the card, along with all character cards in play on it, are discarded.
Facilities cards are usually cleared by the dispatching of caracter cards during a Deployment Step although some Facilities cards have unique methods of clearance.
Every two facilities cards cleared by a player grants them an extra 1 VP, making them a viable strategy for victory and an important tactic for any opponent to try and counter.
If both the clear and block conditions are met simultaneously, the clearing player takes precedent and the facility is constructed.
Mission and Facilities cards
For the purposes of simplifying card text, all facilities cards are also considered mission cards, as they are both goals that players deploy character cards to attempt to secure. If a card's text mentions mission cards in the generic sense, without qualifiers such as it being an ATK or MIL-decided mission, then it refers to both mission and facilities type cards.
The opposite is not true. Mission cards are not considered facilities cards for card text purposes. If a card's text mentions facilities cards, this only applies to this type of card.
