You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

Does the consequence trigger regardless, or only if we fail, or what? Oh, nevermind, it's the 0's or reckless thing.

Correct. Note too, the consequence triggers if any such cards are played, not if they actually have an effect. That means that Treachery cards with a skill check effect will trigger the consequence, even if the check is not Reckless. (I think I may have played that one wrong in a previous game.)

Edit: and my iPhone just started playing the Robert Cray Band's "Consequences", just to emphasise the point.

Hmmm. Felix, I can double whatever Blue you put in, if we're willing to accept some damage.

No, I don't think that's worth it, given my hand.

That means that Treachery cards with a skill check effect will trigger the consequence, even if the check is not Reckless.

Balls. Never mind then. I can still help a little, though. If we go all out, however, and take the damage, it could end up being worth it? Only if double-blue is great, which it doesn't seem to be. Dammit, stupid consequences.

Of course, if Destiny triggers the consequence, I guess we can do whatever the hell we want. Tory, your committee includes seers, right?

While I'm at it, administrative note: Destiny's play into this check brought it down to 6 cards. I've replenished the Destiny deck. Doing so exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
