Official Rules Question Thread

“Make a run” just means you start the run, not you wait around to finish it before moving on. Once the run has started, you’ve completed that step. There’s no reason you’d wait around until the run is over to even see that the next sentence exists.

Maybe this isn’t a great parallel since the card text in question has two different types of abilities (one is “Do X”, the other is “When A, do B if C”). In the case of Apocalypse, it’s just “Do X. Do Y.” I’ll try a different example.

Whenever you and the Runner reveal secretly spent credits, gain 1c.


When the Runner accesses The Future Perfect, you and the Runner secretly spend 0c, 1c, or 2c. Reveal spent credits. If you and the Runner spent a different number of credits [… any Psi ability …]

My understanding is that it’s well established that you get the 1c from Nisei Division immediately after you “Reveal spent credits.” but before you carry out the result of the Psi game. Perhaps this isn’t clear because having the extra credit very rarely matters in regards to the Psi game effect.

Expose 1 card installed in a remote server. Trash that card at no cost if it is an asset or upgrade


Whenever you expose a card, the Corp must rez it by paying its rez cost, if able.

This is the clearest example I can find.

  1. Expose 1 card installed in a remote server.
    1.1 Corp must rez if able
  2. Trash if asset or upgrade.

FAQ on this stuff:

If during the resolution of an ability another ability meets
its trigger condition, then a “chain reaction” is created. The
ability that just met its trigger condition resolves immediately
following the active effect on the current ability. If this ability
results in another ability meeting its trigger condition, then that
ability is also “chained.” Resolve all the abilities from the most
recent trigger condition before continuing.

During the resolution of the first active effect on Apocalypse, CtM triggers and must resolve immediately (barring any other simultaneous triggers).
