4.5 C Headline Phase: Each player secretly selects a card from
their hand. Once both players have made their choice, they reveal
their cards to each other simultaneously. These cards are called
‘Headline cards’ and their Events take place in this phase (and
if the event title has an asterisk, are removed from the game
normally). To determine which Event takes place first, look at
the Operations value on each card; that is its Headline Value.
The card with the higher Headline Value takes effect first. In
the event of a tie, the Headline Event played by the US player
goes into effect first.
7.3 Permanent Events: Some Event cards have an underlined title,
e.g. Flower Power. This indicates that the effects of these Events
last for the duration of the game. When such cards are played as
Events, place them to the side of the map, or place their markers
on the Turn Track, as a reminder of their ongoing effects.
