Player Aid – Solitaire Event Effects Table

Many of these Event cards are listed near the affected flowchart, without much in the way of explanation, some are included in rules section 9.6 under the heading of “Indvidual Event Instructions”, and many are just sprinkled throughout the various paragraphs of rules section 9. In any case, I thought it would be much more efficient to have them all in one place:
