Impossible capture

An impossible capture is when another disc is touching a tower or foundation that has leaners on it. The opponent of the player who caused this fault MUST try to capture the tower, however this is impossible (or very nearly so) because the standing piece will cause a fault as it falls. This means the tower doesn't score and goes back in to the stack of the capturing player (who also loses his turn).
It is an offensive move and is an example of when causing a fault can be a good thing.
