How do I stop an opponent triggering the event on a card I play for CP?

The rulebook requires announcing the pre-empt when the card is played; the designer only confirmed that pre-empting works on any card.

  • 1960: The Making of the President rulebook · Rulebook · Preempting Events

Spend two of your momentum markers when you play the card, before your opponent decides whether to trigger it. The pre-empt is announced before the action resolves, so it cannot be declared in response to an attempted trigger.
