At first glance, this simply seems like a worse nearprint of the rotating Dirty Laundry, increasing the credit threshold by 1 and narrowing it down into Crim. But it paying off at the success of the run crucially means you can already use the payout for trash costs of cards you are accessing (or for Ikawah Project-style agenda steal costs, if we're ever revisiting that).

Also, the higher cost means we can take more credits from Mystic Maemi!

Nice observation there about paying off earlier than Bravado and Dirty Laundry, I hadn't twigged that

Clean Getaway is the “new Dirty Laundry”.


NB. Getaway (post-is successful) earns credits sooner than Laundry (post-run ends). Thus, it can pay trash-costs (like Bahia Bands). For example (with Miss Bones rotating and Daily Casts banned), against an uniced, -4[$]-to-trash asset (like Wage Workers, or Hostile Architecture).

  • Getaway only needs its own play-cost (3[$]). Even assets alongside Mahkota Langit Grid.
  • Laundry needs twice that (6[$]), its play-cost plus the trash-cost.

(So if you only had three credits in pool, you'd need to re-run the server afterwards, wasting [click]. Or, if you only have enough to play the event and break a single rezzed ice once, you would need to triple-click for credits beforehand.)


BTW, before spoilers my guess for this card was just a “lightly-blueshifted” ([criminal 1/5]) Laundry. Like how NSG's Government Subsidy “greenshifts” FFG's Restructure. But I prefer this variation.
