CHART NOTES:

This aid will keep track of critical events that have occurred and help avoid arguments. It can often be difficult to remember if a card was played or for what purpose it was played. Listed above are the critical card events that require prerequisites for play. Certain cards require that an event has or has not yet been played. All critical events worth tracking are on the left side of the player aid and marked with a box. Simply check off the box (or mark with a chit or token) when the card with that event has been played for its given purpose.
