The player with the First Player marker begins and plays any Power card from their hand face up. Then, in clockwise order, the other players also play one of their Power cards face up in front of them. Your Power card must have a different value from all the Power cards that have already been played this round.

"The Power cards determine two things:

Turn order and the number of Caballeros [ICON] you take to your Court."

Example: Green starts and plays the 8. Blue is the next player clockwise. They may play anything but an 8, and decides to play a 3. Orange is next and may play anything but an 8 or 3, so they play a 5. Finally, you play the 9.
