Great questions! I'll have to start saving up some like these for a FAQ :)
You can interleave buying and playing, including saving all of the ink/miles until the end when you can't play any more so that you can buy more expensive cards.
"tap" just means to turn it sidewards so that you know that you've used it. You can't use it while it's tapped, so it limits how often you can cheat.
When a card is revealed, it does not leave where it is (deck, hand, etc.). You just get to see it and play it as though you had a copy (a photograph) during that turn.

I chuckled when I saw the “tap“ was not explained. Apparently, he thought everyone has played Magic the Gathering. *giggle*

"Interleave" - A new word for me. I looked it up & apparently its a computer programming and bookbinding term. Never heard it before.

So now you know he's a geek from using "tap" and "untap" and a computer programmer from using "interleave".
I know the term "tap" from something different that doesn't relate to cards. Hint:
Rule #2: Double tap!
But applying it in that context would mean retiring the Aiphid card. *giggle*

Thanks Aiphid! I suspected it came from MTG, but I only played that game once, sometime around 1995, with someone else's cards. -TKV

While I only played it once, I never realized that MTG was developed so close to home. I went to college in Walla Walla where Richard Garfield (the designer) was living when the game was released. -TKV

Yeah that card wasn't origin ally part of the game so I didn't define it. I should add a glossary and faq to the rulebook.

actually that card is in the original 2013 version of the game. you weren't going to put it in the 2014 version. but I really love that card!! so I might have begged a little... The quote on the bottom of the card is just freaking awesome! and I love the carving!

No, you have the card because I gave it to you. It wasn't an official card.

Umm... you are the creator of the game. You put it in the 2013 deck that I have and you have. It doesn't get any more official than the creator putting it in the deck!!! It IS official!! It IS!!!
And NOW it's in the 2014 deck making it double official!! HA!! :D
I really like that card.
