Really unique idea! The hamster machine seems like it can be devastating. If I understand correctly, the defender doesn't get to deal hits in "Thrash"?
You might need to reword your Draw Cards step in evening, since the additional card icons will be visible as long as the marker isn't on 2 or 4 (unless that was the intention?). I assumed you were going for something similar to other factions, where the further along you go, the more stuff you get.
