You may choose to not play any Things or Actions in your turn to discard one card, you receive an amount of credits equal to the number in the top right hand corner of the discarded card.
Things with subtype "Transport" are able to have any number of cards placed hidden under them from your hand for free at any time (but these cannot be returned to your hand), then played from the Transport later at the usual cost of playing a thing or action (one of each a turn). The cards under the Transport stay attached to the Transport (E.g. If a transport returns to your hand or is destroyed, any attached cards share that destiny). Any cards under a Transport do not count towards your total number of Things. Things under a Transport cannot use their actions and do not count as if they were in play.

Special Rules

You may choose to not play any Things or Actions in your turn to discard one card, you receive an amount of credits equal to the number in the top right hand corner of the discarded card.

Things with subtype "Transport" are able to have any number of cards placed hidden under them from your hand for free at any time (but these cannot be returned to your hand), then played from the Transport later at the usual cost of playing a thing or action (one of each a turn). The cards under the Transport stay attached to the Transport (E.g. If a transport returns to your hand or is destroyed, any attached cards share that destiny). Any cards under a Transport do not count towards your total number of Things. Things under a Transport cannot use their actions and do not count as if they were in play.
