1/3 how do figure that? If I recall correctly on 3+ you get to send
runners w/o Athletics home. On 5+ you get to send runner w/ Athletics
home. This means you have atleast a 66% chance of sending the runner
back, with a 33% chance on the "better" runners (those with Athletics).
Don't forget the Loaded Dice card (a much more useful special in my
opinion than GAQS). With that you are up to an 83% chance to send the
majority of runners back, and 50% for those with Athletics.
Personally I like this card. It's a good card to put on top of the
challenge stack because it almost always sends atleast one runner
back. Which means that for the rest of the run the challenges can't be
sleazed :-)
