Editing Cycle 16/Ruleset Draft (section)

=== Playing Cards ===
On a participant's Exoptosis turn, they must play a card from their ''hand''. If they cannot play a card, they must add one to their hand from their ''deck'' (that is not already in the game). If the participant does not have enough cards in their deck, they choose another participant who then gives the drawing person 1 card from their ''hand''.

Unless a card has an effect that indicates otherwise, a participant may play a card if it has a ''value equal'' to, ''one (1) above'', or ''one (1) below'' that of the previous played card, or of ''opposite colour'' - only if the played card is ''non-special''. On the first turn of the game, the player who goes first in the turn order may play any ''non-special'' card.
