Yes.

No

This is VERY good question, which we are surprised hasn’t come up before! We had to sit down and really contemplate the situation to make a ruling on this. To recap, the Play All But 1 (New Rule) says “If you started with no cards in your hand and only drew 1, draw an extra card.” And, as we all know, when you play a card that increases the Draw amount, you get to draw the difference to increase your total cards drawn to the current New Rule in play. The way Andy framed the question is “Is the extra card one draws like a ‘salary advance’ on your regular draw allotment , or is it more like a ‘bonus’ on top of your regular draw?” After some thought we felt that what the Play All But 1 card is doing is more like a temporary modification of the Basic Draw rule, and, as such, would make the extra card part of your total Draw allowance for your turn. So, in the example presented in the question above, where (after having started with no cards, and Drawing 2) you have played Draw 4, you would draw only 2 additional cards (and continue to Play until you have only 1 card left in your hand).

No

No, they are drawn as a “pre-turn” action, as though those three cards were your pre-existing hand. You observe the current Draw rule after having drawn those cards.

Anytime

You can take any of the “free actions” at any time during your turn: before you draw, in the middle of your plays, or after all your plays are done. In fact, your turn is not technically over until you have used, or declined to use those options. If you simply forget, however, and let the next person take their turn, your opponents are not required to point it out to you, and once the next person starts their turn, you’ve lost the option.

Set aside in hand

Any additional cards drawn to your hand should go to your set-aside hand.

You keep it

YOU play the card you stole, so you get to keep the Keeper.

No

No. Any time a Goal is played, it provides a chance for someone to win with those conditions. No matter how briefly that Goal is in play, it counts, and if someone meets the conditions in that instant, they win.

No

When it’s someone else’s turn, there’s not much you get to do – there are no cards you can play out of turn. But you will sometimes need to make minor decisions and perform card maintenance during other players’ turns. For example, if someone plays a Hand Limit and you have more cards in your hand than are allowed, you’ll need to decide what to keep and what to discard.

Yes

If you play the card, you have to carry out the action, so yes, you’d have to give away the rest of your hand and get nothing in return if everyone else is empty handed. It says on the card, “This is one of those times when you can get something for nothing.”Well, it’s also a time when you might give something away and get nothing back!

Yes

Yes, anyone can look through the discard pile at any time.

No

That would be cheating, unless you play the Steal a Keeper Action card which allows you to do exactly that.

Yes you choose

You get to choose.

Yes

Yes. It’s not a quota that you must draw up to in order to meet, it’s simply a cap on the number of cards you’re allowed to hold.

No

Nope! Just as Rules take effect immediately, their effects also cease the moment the rule disappears.

No

You can have as many Keepers in front of you as you want, unless a Keeper Limit New Rule card is played. Even then, you can play as many Keepers as the current rules will allow during your turn and only decide which ones to keep and which to throw away (so as to comply with the Keeper Limit) when your turn is over.

Yes

Yes

Play 1 more card

All rules take effect immediately, so you would need to play one more card because the rules at that point had become Play 3.

Play all, end turn

Play as many as you can. Your turn ends when you have no cards left in your hand, even if you are supposed to play more.

Place on Basic Rule

The New Rule still supersedes the Basic Rules, but the Basic Rules card does not get discarded. To help to avoid confusion, the New Rule can be placed to cover-up the portion of Basic Rules it replaces, as shown.

If they contradict

It all depends on contradictions. There’s no limit on the number of New Rules that can be in play at once, as long as they don’t interfere with each other. If the New Rule you are adding has nothing to do with the existing New Rule, both rules remain. However, if both rules are about the same thing, for example how many cards to Draw, then the new card becomes the rule and the old rule is discarded.
