How about naming a Runner to be protected by Guard when playing a Guard
Runner. The Guard could be later swapped to another Runner, but must
always target/ protect one specific Runner you control (unless you don´t
have any others). Of course, the Guard would have to be present with the
protected Runner, but would be linked to him so that he could also be
used against Wanteds or similars. ---Felix
