Touch-Ups (🎭) is like “Shipment from SanSan + Salem's Hospitality”. It:
- compresses advancement (costing the same clicks/credits as taking the basic advancement-action twice) with disruption (taking out two of your choice).
- deals “pseudo-damage”. The cards: get reshuffled, not trashed (the Runner can redraw them, but SS / SF don't trigger); and aren't random (by default, just choose
event
for the widest choice). - is an Operation (triggering Nebula/etc, unlike the basic-action.)
- has an implicit
Play this operation only if there is an installed card you can advance.
. But advanceables need not be accessible.
For example:
- You can IAA a
5/3
while “burning” two cards that could steal the agenda. Like pushing a Next Big Thing, while taking out some run-event that would help them breach it (or even an icebreaker if you choseprogram
)? Or in Jinteki, for Fujii Asset Retrieval, while “softening up” the grip? (IDK.) - You can also just “touch-up” a Mestnichestvo, if you want to shuffle away two cards (EG. Steelskin Scarring) and then kill them (EG. End of the Line).
It can also be sacked to Knickknack
