Proposal: Highway to the Danger Zone
Timed out and enacted, 2-1. Josh

In the rule “Items”, add the following to the bulleted list:
* Reverse Rocket: Subtract 20cm from your Position. (Passive effect: when a Predator’s Effect would change your Status, your Status instead remains unchanged, but you automatically Discard this Item. This automatic Discard counts as a Play, but ignores all restrictions for making the Discard Play, taking priority over any such Discard restrictions.)
* Flashy Shell Wrap: (Passive effect: W is the number of instances of this Item that you have. Add W to your Fame when you finish an Ongoing Race if you have not already done so for that Race. When there is an Ongoing Race, if your Plays have increased by N since the Race was created or since the last time you performed Spot Danger, you must Spot Danger before making another Play, where N is the maximum of (6 - W) and 1)
Flashy Shell Wrap feels like an adverse move, particularly in the Pulling Up The Ladder sense.
I quite like the shell wrap, personally. People who don’t show up at any time during the first day of the Race and can’t even be bothered to order any Reverse Rockets probably don’t deserve to win any medals
Habanero:
How does Reverse Rocket interact with the grace period on Item usage? If a Predator gets you, does it:
- Not discard the Rocket, but you stay Healthy
- Discard the Rocket anyway even though it’s the grace period
- Just fail to do anything and you die
