An example before you play

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
