by nerman8r I've never had this experience, and I'm wondering if you're doing something wrong. Two things prevent the game from being endless:1) When you enter Tokyo, you gain a victory point, and you...

by jonahmaul Yeah, pretty sure you are playing it correctly. The only point I could see is if the card you are using states that it stops the attack, in which case you aren't being attacked and can't...
