Swerve

Except for missions, your cards in play can be either “unswerved” (meaning they are available for your use), or “swerved” (meaning they have been used, or are otherwise unavailable to you).

When a card is swerved, its image becomes shaded, and an arrow symbol appears on it. Otherwise, the card is unswerved.

Many actions you can take in the game require you to swerve an unswerved card.
