Lightspeed Actions

A gold-bordered Lightspeed card

When your opponent makes a move, you can answer it on the spot with a gold-bordered Lightspeed card. Your opponent can then answer you back.

Everyone keeps answering until no one wants to. Then it all resolves.

The last card played resolves first.

Then you work backwards to the first — last in, first out.
