Flash Lays (A Guide)

The Basics
When you start a Flash Lay, you are taken to a special area (A Flash Lay). Your opportunity deck and hand are replaced by a new deck full of special Flash Lay cards.

Your goal is to either reach 75 Flash Lay's Progress, then play the appropriate action on the Make your Move: a Confessional Evening card. Alternatively, if you have 100 progress, you will automatically get the appropriate storylet. If your Nightmares, Suspicion, or Scandal each five, you will need to take immediate countermeasures or the Flash Lay will fail.

A Flash Lay: Up your Sleeve is a unique resource that some cards will give you. Up Your Sleeve can be used to avoid negative cards, gain additional progress, reduce your menaces.

Most of the new cards in the opportunity deck will either increase Progress, grant Up your Sleeve, or reduce your menaces. Some cards are Obstacle cards - special cards which will automatically fire when drawn and will hinder your progression until the obstacles are eliminated.

Opportunity Cards
These cards are available in all Flash Lays. Some Flash Lays are more challenging than others. The difficulty scores in this table are given assuming a Venture Challenge of 1. For Venture Challenge 2, multiply all the values by 2. For Venture Challenge 5, multiply those values by 5.
