Special Action Cards::Defensive
Virus
The Virus card allows a player to share his misery with whomever caused it. The card can be
used against a Wild Draw, Quitter, and
Glasnost cards. Played against a Wild Draw, the effects
are split between the two players. Played against the Quitter or Glasnost, both players suffer
the hostile card's effect. At the end of the hand, a player caught holding the Virus card is
"infected." The card is only worth 3 points, but the player takes an extra 10-point penalty on
that hand and on every subsequent hand in which he is not the winner. The effects of being
"infected" more than once are cumulative.
For example, say Player1 discards a Draw 4, Player2 fends with another Draw 4, and Player3
discards the Virus. Player2 and Player3 then draw 4 cards each. Player4 continues the
game with a Green, 0 (Zero), or other appropriate Special Action card.
