in a challenge after allies are committed but before cards are played.
Your declaration is the official result of that challenge. If you allow him to
win a challenge, you get a base on one of his home planets. If for some
reason you do not or cannot fulfill your guarantee, you must give your
opponent all of your Lucre or a base in your home system if you have no
Lucre. You may be zapped when making the offer or attempting to fulfill
