    Rule hint for this card

    This card has an erratum:

    This card has an clarification:

    When you fail to overcome this dilemma, your ship and crew are “stopped” and you must immediately target one of your opponent’s ships. (If there is no valid target, the dilemma is immediately discarded without effect and your cards are not “stopped.”)

    Once “unstopped,” the ship and crew must chase and attack that target. This is a required action (see actions - required), and must be carried out alone; your other ships at the location may not join the battle.

    Cloaked, phased, or landed ships, or ships in a Temporal Rift or Time Travel Pod are invalid targets. You may change targets at any time. If the selected target at any time becomes invalid or leaves play, you must target a different ship. If at any time there are no valid targets in play, the dilemma is discarded. Moving to a different spaceline or to a time location does not invalidate the target. (Changed by Current-Rulings) Once you have attacked a target ship, the dilemma is “cured” and discarded.

    The Ultimate Borg Card!!

    Simple strategy. Seed Conundrum first so it will be encountered as the last dilemma at a space mission. Before you scout that mission with your Cube, drop off a Sphere with a drone on it. When Conundrum is activated, your Cube goes blasting away at the enemy, while your Sphere sits back and probes for that objective! You won't have to wait for Eliminate Starship, and you choose when you want to do it! Nasty, huh?
