Can anyone explain the unique trait more clearly. I can't find it in the rule
book or in the FAQ anymore. I have seen it writen somewhere but not sure
where anymore. The question comes from whether or not Unique cards can be
duplicated in play? Can my opponent and I both have the some Unique card out?
I know that you can only have one Unique card in your own deck but does
playing mine block my opponent from playing his? Are they like Prime Runners?
What happens when two Unique cards are revealed? etc... etc... etc...

Unique in SRTCG means that there can only be one in the deck. Two unique
cards can be in play at the same time (assuming no other reatistions apply).
For example if your opponent has Nerps! in play, you can play your own; but
if he has Hatchetman 2057 in play, you cannot play yours (Hatchetman 2057 is
a Prime Runner).

Note : Basing on Hatchetman 2057, PR don't necessarily need upkeep. It's
just a trend with the other PRs....

I believe you can only have one in your deck...but the other guys can have it
also, and use it. That's how we play.

Unique is the trait that allows only one of that card to be present
in your deck. Not just on the playing field, but in your whole
deck. And since the only unique runner is also a prime runner
Hatchetman 2057, there is no chance that both could be out on
the table at the same time. Now Objectives in a multiplayer game
could in theory have two guardian dracoforms on it. They would be
in two different stacks and I feel real bad for the running team
that ran after this objective. But the odds of that are VERY slim.
One thing that I didn't think of but now it comes to mind is...
In a 3 person multiplayer game, if player 1 obtains an objective and
both player 2 and 3 try to false mentor it... who gets it?

I just played a 3 player game the other week where Player 1 ran into a
guardian dracoform (which I played Lonestar Undercover which turned his
Stomper in a undercover agent :), then another on the same objective (his
own via security consultant); He had to stop after that. His next round He
ran on another objective and bam, another draco, killed it and bam, double
jeopardy! He was playing a bruiser deck but was pretty mopped up after
though he was racking up the rep in killing em. The odds are slim but it
happens and it was the best game ever :) we were rolling.
As far as the False Mentor, I'd say you would be playing the False
Mentor on the guy who stolen the rep? "You taught him everything he knows,
But I taught YOU everything you know!"

Exactly. FASA came out with an official ruling that you can use a False Mentor on a False
Mentor. In other words, the First person would steal the rep from the current run, the
Second player then steals the rep from the first player. This is a double slap in the
face for the first player: He played his one and ony false mentor, which is now fragged,
and he didn't get any rep out of the deal.

The fun part is, the runner who took the objective could concievably take the objective
back by False Mentoring the Second players Mentor.
