Is there ever a reason to discard cards? Seems it'd always be better to either play them or keep them in hand to deny them to others.

[TricMagic]

So discarding has no actual use? Just use your action to discard, and get nothing out of it other than putting the cards back in circulation.

[Haspen]

Currently it has no real use, no.

[Haspen]

After much deliberation about the playing rules, it seems indeed that the game would soon devolve into pass-in-a-row to deny cards.

That would be boring to play and GM I think so I've ventured back to Twilight Struggle rules for tinkering and I found a solution.

Rules have been amended:

5. The Party can do the following as an Action:
* Play a Card in their Hand:
**Cards that are Neutral or belong to Your Party will play out as stated on the Card.
**Cards that belong to Another Party will give you 2 Popularity to allocate on the Map; but the Card's event will play out as well.
***You can specify whether you want to put down the 2 Popularity BEFORE or AFTER the Card's event goes through.
*Discard a Card from their Hand.

As you can see, Pass is no longer an option, and playing 'hostile' cards gives you something extra.

Still waiting on Tric's popularity assignment.
