Mine Field
Type: Challenge
Description: (Miscellaneous)
Notes: Roll D6 (+1 for each Runner present who possesses Demolition).
If result is higher than the number of Runners present, trash Mine
Field. If result is equal to or lower than the number of Runners
present, each Runner takes X armor-piercing damage. X = number of
Runners present.

As Bull has already pointed out, unless it kills everyone it doesn't
end your run. Cards like Minefield just rough you up, you can
continue on if you wish. Of course if the mines went off the alarm is
now triggered.

You could use No Way Out for other challenges on your team if you
wanted to. It's happened in our games before. I don't see a whole lot
of room for misuse though. First it's only a max of four of the cards
in one deck. LotI and Wabbits Foot can possibly cancel them out. Plus,
unless you did a real good job of Recon, you just better hope you can
survive what's coming up next.

It becomes the second card. You can only place new challenges on top
of an existing stack.
