Numerical values of these cards range from +1 to +7.

Crime cards need to be overcome using Flash cards. 
Cards in the Foe deck have 2 numerical Traits:

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 4 Phases: 
1. Foe Phase
2. Flash Phase
3. Capture Phase
4. Final Phase

FOE PHASE
-If there are less than 2 Foe cards face up in the 
Middle of the table, then flip over replacements. 
-Each Foe card gets 1 Mod card attached to it. 
If a Foe card does not have a Mod then card flip over 
A Mod card and place it slightly under the Foe card 
To show they are attached. 
-A Foe card will only ever have 1 Mod card attached.
-At the end of Foe Phase there should be 2 face-up 
Foe cards in the middle of the table with a Mod card 
Attached to each. 

FLASH PHASE
The current player fills his hand to 7 cards. 
If the deck ever runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

CAPTURE PHASE
-The current player plays Flash cards from his hand to 
Capture one of the Face-up Foe cards. 
-The Total Speed value of the Flash cards must exceed the total 
Threat value of the target Foe card and attached Mod card. 
-The Total Investigation value of the Flash cards must exceed the total 
Plot value of the target Foe card and attached Mod card. 
-If both these conditions are satisfied, the player puts the Foe 
Card into his Victory pile. The Flash and Mod cards are discarded. 
-The current player may then also capture the second face-up 
Foe card, if he has the resources to do it. 

FINAL PHASE
The current player may discard any number of cards from his hand.
