See, I know this is the official FASA ruling, but I just don't get it. Think about it,
it's basically a Booby trap that you can pull out of. Sure, sometimes you can lose 2
runners, or with a loaded dice you can lose the whole team, but it's still not all that
powerful. They make this a rare card and then say that all it is is a choice between a
Booby Trap or a Hellish Traffic (possibly blow up, or go home).
I say if the card is rare, make it worth the price to get. Hell, look at a Yakuza
Assassin. The bugger is a 6/6 (A2) that goes one on one with another runner. That's
huge, and it's worth it. Toss that on a Crossfire or a Operation Cottonmouth and it
almost becomes an impossible to pass wall.
Oh well, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
