Illumination (💡) is “Joy Ride for installation”!
At best: If you are holding 3 programs/resources/hardware each costing at least 1 credit, then you will get 6 “units-of-value”, while still breaching R&D. In particular, you will compress 4 clicks (3 installs + 1 run) into one.
At worst… Mass Install is fun?
For example, you can “illuminate out”:
- a Coalescence, Knickknack, and Simulchip) (
2[$]
total). Then cash it out Coalescence (forGain 4[$].
). After which (next turn), Knickknack can sac the Coalescence (forGain 2[$]. Draw 1 card.
, despite its actual-cost being reduced below its printed-cost). - a Devadatta Drone, Dr. Nuka Vrolyck, and Telework Contract (
0[$]
total). Then immediately multi-access R&D (without the Corp expecting it, like they would with The Maker’s Eye). After which (next action), you can refill your emptied hand with Nuka. - an Environmental Testing and two programs/hardware.
