	A player's turn starts with picking up a card from the deck. If the deck is exhausted, shuffle the discard pile and make it the new deck. The player may play one Thing card (by placing in face up in front of them,) or playing one Action card (by discarding it and following it's instructions) or one of each in any order. If the player has met the deck's victory conditions, or if the player has met the victory condition stated on one of their Thing cards, or the victory condition mentioned on the Action card just played, the game is over. Otherwise, the player discards any cards in their hand in excess of five, and the next player takes a turn.		A player's turn starts with picking up a card from the deck.

	If you're not using a pre-made deck, toss 9 or 10 blank cards to each player. Everyone gets a pen, and two ~~coloured~~ markers: one for highlighting Action cards, one for highlighting Thing cards.
