Editions

Innocent Edition (×4)

Called Distracting Booby in the Pure and Mounting Editions. Same card, same rules. See Distracting Booby.

Rules details

• Cancelling an interrupt card brings back the card underneath it. Two Falcon Interceptors in a row cancel each other out, so the original card goes ahead.
• Against an attack that picks several cards (Fishing Frigate, Rampaging Cassowary) it stops only the picks still to come. Cards already taken stay taken.
• A cancelled Golden Goose or Flaming Galah returns to its owner’s hand. Any other cancelled card goes on the discard pile.

See Interrupts & examples for how chains of interrupt cards settle.
