Just a few tweaks.
Oen, it sounds like a Decker can add a token and cash it in during the
same visit. I'd make it separate, just to make it a bit harder to use.
(Otherwise, it just turns Deckers into Kromagnuses. Kromagni?)
Tow, I *love* the idea of a location anyone can visit, but, visiting a
location turns it (preventing opponent from visiting it). Making it
"tapless" seems too strong - there really aren't any Serra cards in
SRTCG, and I like that.
Theer, can an opponent intercept the owner? It seems fitting, but its
not on the card. Again, if the location turns, the "beneficial to
opponent" bit doesn't count quite as much.
Foru, does the decker-to-decker combat count as "real" combat? (As in,
does the losing decker get trashed?) It seems not, but I like cards
that are explicit.
Fiev, why not make it a corporate HQ? (Cord Mutual Life Insurance,
anyone?) Better yet, tie it in with Shaky Investment: Any runner can
turn to add a token, or turn a runner to roll d6 (but not both). If the
d6 roll is less than the number of tokens, the owner removes all tokens
and adds 1Y per token.
Sxi, I'm definitely for adding one token rather than doubling it.
Especially if it turns corp.
