	There is a hand limit of 8 that a player cannot exceed. If you have 8 cards in your hand, then you cannot draw a card on your turn. Likewise, if you play a 5 One-Off effect, you may only draw enough cards to bring your hand up to the hand limit. This does ~~_not_~~ prevent your opponents from placing more than 8 cards into your hand by playing a 9 One-Off effect.		There is a hand limit of 8 that a player cannot exceed.

	'''Twos''' can be played on your turn to discard a single active Permanent effect that your opponent has in-play. Twos ~~_cannot_~~ be used to block point cards or scuttling. On your opponent's turn, you may use a 2 from your hand to block a One-Off effect they are playing, preventing it from taking effect. Both cards are discarded. Since playing a 2 this way is a One-Off effect, it can also be blocked. '''NOTE:''' a Queen protects all of a player's cards from being targeted. This means that a 2 cannot be used to block a One-Off effect from a player that has a Queen in play.

	'''Fours''' can be played to force your opponent to discard 2 cards from their hand immediately. If they have 2 or fewer cards in their hand, they simply discard their entire hand. By default, the player may choose which 2 cards to discard from their own hand. For more aggressive gameplay, there is a game option to randomly choose which cards are discarded, instead of letting the player choose.
