- You do not have to spend all the icons on a card.

- After all the icons on a card are spent, place that card faceup into your discard pile near the right of your player board. You will draw cards on Step 6.

NOTE: Some special abilities and some Special cards require you to discard a card to gain an effect. A unique card must be discarded for each effect. In other words, you cannot discard 1 card to activate more than 1 effect.
