Well, the whole reason I asked in the first place is *because* there
_are_ cards that specifically address rolls/values above 6. If the
designers wanted values of 7+ to count as 6 on cards like Mr. Johnson,
why didn't they specify 6+ on the card?
Because there are 2 different types (6 and 6+), my thoughts are that
rolls of 7+ on cards that only specify a 6 mean 'no effect' or 'nothing
at all happens'.
Perhaps this should be put to the Rules Team?
