Though most people like the run stoppers, I tend to like the all runners
damaged challenges like:

Highway Showdown - 4 damage to all runners present.
The Big Chase - 3 AP damage to all runners present.
Sabotaged Controls - 2 AP damage to all runners present.
Minefield - X AP damage to all runners where X = numbers of runners present.

Of course I still have Booby Trap, Widows Trap, Maglocks etc., but I like
to see all the runners damaged or killed. This keeps all the runners tied
up for the next round healing. I usually have a Biotech Shaman running with
my team so that a big attack value challenge can be mostly applied to a
tough runner and then Bioteched off.

Often overlooked to stop sleazing is: Motion Detectors which I also use.

Adrian.
