Yes, and you can't do anything else for three turns, and your piece 
sits on a special square of the board... but this isn't Monopoly, and 
we don't regularly roll dice. And although you have better odds in 
Monopoly, what with getting three attempts before you have to pay out, 
you also don't have to play this card at all - you actually have the 
option of waiting it out, which isn't in Monopoly

I do agree with you about the 200~, though.
