What would happen in a 4+-player game with this combination? Example... I go on
run and face first challenge, which happens to be Feeding Ghouls (or anything
else). The next challenge I encounter is Security Consultant, which forces me
to face my own challenge. I reveal my challenge and it is Double Jeopardy. My
personal feeling is that I would be facing the Feeding Ghouls again, otherwise,
in a 4+ player game, this combination would just end up being trashed since I
would not have any more challenges to face. This seems to lose the flavor of
Double Jeopardy to me.
