An efficient way to cash in your favours (and your connections with The Widow) is through conflict cards. These all require favours at 5+ in two conflicting factions at once, set up a conflict between two factions, and require you choose a side, spending favours from the side you didn't choose. They are drawn at Very Infrequent frequency (half as common as the typical card), and are undiscardable once drawn. Most either spend 2 favours to gain 7.5-8.5 {{E}} or spend all favours to gain an amount which scales with the number of favours spent, on the order of 22.5 {{E}} for 7 favours. Several also offer a compromise option, which requires 3 actions and a high value in a particular quirk, but which gains 7.5-8.5 {{E}} without spending any favours for less than 3 EPA. | An efficient way to cash in your favours (and your connections with The Widow) is through conflict cards.

Of particular note is the card [[A contact in the Great Game has a tale for you]]. This card is unlocked with 5 {{IL|Favours: The Great Game}} and 5 {{IL|Favours: The Church}}, and allows spending 2 {{IL|Favours: The Great Game}} for 7.5 {{E}} of goods, 1cp of {{IL|Someone Is Coming}}, and one of every second chance. This is one of the most efficient ways of getting second chances in the game, particularly Sudden Insights and Hard-Earned Lessons. | Of particular note is the card [[A contact in the Great Game has a tale for you]].
