I don't even think in my games I've ever surpassed that many and I have two of them on my Wheels for R4+. Assuming the null cycle was three Bankrupts, that makes a total of TEN penalty hits (seven aired).
First the CURIO puzzle and now this have been categorized literally.
And poor Leigh...that's Lose a Turn #5 tonight! Ugh. I don't blame Steven for just solving.
