Card
Text

Play after any enemy plays a card that causes a transfer of population to him/herself from another player (not you)

If the card was a Propaganda, you receive the people instead.

If the card was not a Propaganda, you receive 50% of the people (round down); the others are lost.

This card cannot be played on Leaky Border.


Additional Notes and Information:

Another in the long string of cards that mess with population transfer. We had to prohibit Leaky Border because the effect of this card would be, well, weird. Would it work for one turn only? Or would it essentially cancel the border (since you would receive one-half M people, rounded to zero; and the rest -- all 1 M -- would be lost)? Better just to obviate the confusion.

I am proud of the name for this card. Get it? You can envision this card as representing a metaphorical misdirection (i.e., "stealing" credit for whatever is causing the defection) or a literal one (that is, you actually steer the fleeing people to your country).
