Turn
On your turn, move the Cosmoctopus, optionally play a card, discard down to 8 cards, then direct the Cosmoctopus towards the next player
First, move the Cosmoctopus orthogonally and gain the bonus of the space it lands on. Additionally, you MAY spend any resource of your choice to move it one space more for each resource spent, only the final landing space will generate rewards though
After which, pick a card from your hand to play if desired, this may result in further cards being played via previous card effects, but usually you can only play 1 card. To play a card you must be able to afford it, most cards show in the top left banner a specific amount of one resource type plus a specific amount of any combination of resources required to pay. You have the option to discard cards from your hand, these then count as resources of the same type, e.g. red cards discard for the red resource.
Cards

If the Scripture has the Submerge icon, discard Scriptures (Black) & Relics (Yellow) from the Market and move the Cosmoctopus once for each card discarded this way, resolve the effect of EACH space entered in this way.
Relics (Yellow) -
