[Fluxx] Attention Play First-ers: Beware of Draw 2 & Use 'Em!

[Bob Galloway]

We're not playing by common sense anymore?  Speak for yourself.  I'm playing
by a common-sense reading of the rules on the cards.  I lost the rule
booklet long ago, and honestly don't give a damn what it says -- the rules
are on the cards, after all.

I've always played as though the play and draw rules were quotas to be met
by the end of the turn.  A common-sense reading of the rules on the cards
supports this.

If some of the card text needs to be clarified, sure, that's what a new
edition is for.  But ignoring the booklet (or the box text on an old
edition) in favor of the cards does not require us to throw all common sense
out the window.
