Ok, here's what the first paradox was... What's your pseudo-judgement?
The Not Your Turn card would cancel the effect of any card played
in the last 24 hours (meant as a defense card).
The Discard Picking card let you grab any card discarded in the
last 24 hours.
Someone discarded a Not Your Turn.
play was: play discard picking to pick not your turn, then play
Not your turn to cancel the discard picking play. The paradox
is whether not your turn is in the discard pile.
How would you settle it?
