Ticking Clock:
Broad Daylight

Review: by Tamlin

Some people believe that the current Ticking Clock Twists are useless because they require too many cards used in sequence to get to the one you want and they're too easy to shut down by playing Broad Daylight or the next card in the sequence. But if no one uses these cards, no one will pack any to stop you will they? If you suspect anyone is, wait a turn to see if anyone else plays any Ticking Clock Twists then play your Broad Daylight.

So what good is knowing what a hidden victim is before choosing one? Consider this: When playing a Subplot like Bitter Hatred, Guardians Mission, or The Chosen Few... you can load up your share of Victims with ONE archetype and go looking for one before choosing a victim. If you don't find one with Broad Daylight, you can choose another. If you do, you can choose that one. If you want to keep one handy but hidden just in case, you can simply bluff and choose another victim.

This becomes even more useful if you also like to play with Jack the Ripper (who requires female victims to transform), Lab Gorilla (who requires male victims to transform), you're trying to setup Unlucky at Love... or you suspect your opponent is holding a Hairspray Blowtorch and you're looking for a male victim to blood a monster with.

So when used in combination with monsters and/or Twists that require a certain gender or archetype of victim, Broad Daylight can be a valuable addition to your crypt.
