  • While a card is underneath another card, it cannot be targeted or revealed.
  • It cannot gain influence or use its ability.
• Once everyone has played a card, the placement phase is over.

Resolution Phase

• Starting from the first card, players choose whether to reveal them.
• If the card is not revealed, 1 influence is placed on it.
