Works for me. However, this bring up the question of can you use No
Way Out on yourself after a Hellish Traffic, or Gut Check? I see a
lot of potential for misuse of this card if the official ruling works
like this though.

I would vote for no on this one. Since that challenge has already
been faced this run. While he didn't really successfully sleaze or
defeat it, he's already past that point in the game.
This does bring up and interesting situation though. Say you have a
challenge stack of minefield (top card), electric fence, and gut
check. The situation as outlined above happens; the player misses the
roll, the team takes damage and would return to the safehouse, but
someone plays No Way Out. The team goes on an defeats the electric
fence so the player decides to continue on. The roll for Gut Check is
missed though so the team returns to the safe house and the run is
over. There is now a "hole" inbetween the challenges though. Does
this mean whoever owns that challenge stack can now insert a card in
the middle, or does minefield become the 2nd card and a new challenge
can only be played on top?
I would imagine the official ruling would be the minefield becomes the
second card and the new challenge can only be played on top of the
stack. It would be slightly more interesting though if you could
insert a challenge into the middle of the stack. This is of course
assuming that No Way Out can be used as a "free sleaze" card.
My post, my opinions - get one of your own :-)
