As You Wish says you can play it at the start of a round to add Vader to your hand.
When I "play" a card do I show it to all players? Do I place it in my play area? It says to discard or shuffle back.
So when I play it do they know I added Vader to my hand even though I won't be deploying him until the next Status Phase at the earliest?
Sort of anticlimactic.
Anyway, I'm just looking for info on what it means to "play" a card. Thanks.
Yes. You have to show them the card you're playing, then you either discard it or shuffle it back into the Agenda deck.
As for anticlimactic, I'd say the news that Vader's about to arrive when you didn't expect it is far more terrifying when you weren't expecting it than if you lost Dark Obsession and know Vader's a constant presence.
OK thanks. I'm not really sure what is involved with playing a card but it sounds like you have to show it to everyone. Couldn't find any word on that in the rulebook.
