* HairTriggerExplosive: In just about every game there's an item that's some kind of explosive that gives the character carrying it a defensive penalty, presumably representing them being careful not to drop it and set it off, or some such. Its function is to be sacrificed for a big one-time defensive boost.

* LongTitle: As you probably noticed from the page description, all the expansions have these.

(And reading the whole title of a card you play is required by the rules!)
