• Blockbuster.Counters.get_counter(card) -> Counter
  • will return the counter object that's on the given card
• Blockbuster.Counters.is_counter(card, counter_key) -> boolean
  • Will return true if the counter on the given card matches the counter_key provided
• Blockbuster.Counters.get_counter_num(card) -> number
  • Will return the current increment of the given card's current counter. If no counter is present, it will give 0
• Blockbuster.Counters.is_counter_of_class(card, counter_class_table) -> boolean
  • Checks if counter matches the qualities provided in the counter_class_table. Possible counter classes are provided on the Creating a New Counter page.
• Blockbuster.Counters.get_counter_targets(table_of_cards, conditions, counter_type, counter_class_table) -> table
  • When provided with a table of cards, will provide a table of cards that match the given perimeters, as per the conditions table. If no conditions are provided, it will return every card without any counters. If the condition 'match' or 'no_match' are provided, it will be checked against the counter_type if possible. if 'match_class' or 'no_match_class' are given, it will check against the table of classes in counter_class_table
