HQ Interface question

[Ixamos 0]

I got a question on HQ Interface which I need to clarify. If I have a HQ Interface in play and my opponent has 2 cards in his hand. When I successfully access his HQ, do I get to see his both cards in his hand simultaneously or one at a time?

 

… and IF I get to see both cards simultaneously, do I have the option on which card to trash?

You always access cards one at a time.

1.  Access the first card, decide if you want to trash it (if able).  

2.  Draw the second card and do the same

3. Return cards in the order you drew them in.

 

This means that once you access the second card, you can't go back to the first and decide to trash it (say you don't have enough cash, etc, etc).

If I may just weigh in. I only wish to be specific so, while using the situation above;

 

I have HQ interface installed and made a successful run on HQ. I therefore access two (2) cards.

 

The corp has three cards in HQ. The corp presents his hand for me to access my first card. I take one card from HQ. Its an operation with no trash cost.

 

Question:

(1) Do I now return the un-trashable operation card to the corp, for it to shuffle his hand anew in preparation for my second card access or...

 

(2) Do I lay the first card accessed infront of me as my first access and prepare to access my second card with better odds since the corp only has two cards in hand?

Pretty sure it's 2, just to keep consistent with how multiple card access works in R&D. Don't have anything definitive to back it up though.

FAQ to the rescue:

 

 

Accessing Multiple Cards from HQ

When the Runner accesses multiple cards from HQ, the cards are accessed one at a time, and do not return to HQ until the Runner is finished accessing.

Thanks Fellas,

 

I myself would go for (2). It makes more sense that way but you wouldn't believe the strong albeit ridiculous arguments that goes with this issue, which my group's been having since 1996 with the WotC Netrunner.

 

Until FFG comes out with a clear and definite blow by blow ruling on how cards are accessed. sadly this will still go on.

I think you may have skipped over the quote from the FAQ that I posted.

They have.
