Message no. 1 So, here's the situation. I'm running one of those fantabulous Fuchi
decks (actually, what I call a Ruin the Nuyen deck, with four Ice Queens
with Sticky Fingers, and a horde of little Decklings to take Fuchi to
town). I'm rolling in the dough and reaping in the Rep.

My opponents, however, are coming mighty close to scoring out themselves
and I've decided to put a stop to it with a big, fat, Fuchi-sponsored
Block Party, into which I'm dumping twenty-five nuyen, five turns worth
of non-stop conga line.

Question One: What does "five turns" mean, anyway? Is it a "full
turn"
like Yoshimo Chang (apparently, five times around the table)? Or just
five separate player's turns? Sans horde of money, it seems
exceptionally ineffective if read in this second manner, especially in a
two-player game.

Question Two: Assuming my opponent doesn't have a LOTI in his hand
immediately, can he draw one and then use it on his turn? That is to
say, does Block Party remain in play (like Red Alert) or does it get
trashed (like Knock-Knock)?

I've tried to make this deck too!
I think it's 'around the table'=1 turn It's a BLOCK party!
technically each turn=1 player's turn as there is no term for the interval
between your turns. But I'm very sure it means to justify it's expense...
I don't think it stays in play.
And it read it that it doesn't prevent Fuchi or Z-Zone as the SR phase is
still there, just no ACTUAL shadowruns!

I would say it is based on the concept of your turn, which means until
the start of your next turn, regardless of how many players are in the
game. It would cover all the other players' turns with your one payment
for a turn.

I think the card would be in play, and the LOTi could be used ex-post
facto. This is just my opinion, and I haven't played with the card
much, so I'll heed others' advice over my gut feeling.
