I would actually say the reverse is true...

After reading through the text on Change of Plan I would say that you
should be able to play this one.

Change of Plans
Type: Special (Stinger)
Rarity: Uncommon
Description: 4¥. Play when a player announces a shadowrun. You
may choose the Objective of that shadowrun.

While I'm sure most of us say "I'm running against ..." and then start
the run. In "reality" ;-) there is that "natural pause" after
announcing that you are running and actually picking a target. Since
Harlequin's Game isn't the "official" target yet, you can pop down CoP
and tell them where to go ;-) (Similar to the "I'm going to attack"
and then starting the attack phase in that other game... )


Whereas for Cowards it takes place after the run, when HG was already
the target, and the "no specials clause" was in effect. On second
thought however since it is a stinger I guess it could be played
during the clean up/discard phase which makes it a moot point. So
yes, I would say that this one is playable as well.

As always, my opinions... your delete key C(-:
