Rhetorical Question from Evan Lorentz (07/1998)

The perfect opener for your toughest dilemma combo, Rhetorical Question is a great stalling tactic to use on your opponent. If they can't complete the mission on that attempt, they'll be forced to take a side-trip back to their facility. It works equally well against a variety of tactics. Red-shirts unable to complete the mission will ruin the opportunity for a "real Team" to come in once all's clear. Mega-Teams can fall victim to difficult "opponent's choice" dilemmas. Even back-up solving Teams will be stalled if the primary Team can't get the job done!

Combos:

• Rhetorical Question + Framed for Murder: Almost guaranteed to send your opponent running back to their facility.
• Rhetorical Question + armada decks: If you can destroy your opponent's facilities, they won't have very many options left for getting rid of the Rhetorical Question.
• Rhetorical Question + Plans of the Tal Shiar (or Obsidian Order): If you can use your last dilemma to stop your opponent's attempt, they'll be forced to leave it sitting empty for you to come in and take!
