lab (04/02/83)

Is the computer ripping me off, or is there something amiss in the
rules? I had just played a Remedy Card (Spare Tire, Roue de
Secours) on top of a Hazard Card (Flat Tire, Creve'). On my next
turn, I drew the appropriate Safety Card (Puncture Proof,
Increvable) and promptly played it. That should have canceled the
attack in progress and allowed me to play mileage cards.

(It also allowed the computer to get a shutout!)

Now, now.  People continually complain that mille cheats, but,
alas, it does not.  The rules (at least the copy in my deck of
Mille Bourne) say that the safety will remove the corresponding
hazard, returning you to the "go" state.  It also will prevent
any future hazard card from being played.  It never states that
it will remove a corresponding remedy card with the hazard card
to return you to the "go" state.  If you can quote me the rule
that substantiates your idea, I will change it.
