You can turn in cards while placing armies. You must turn in cards if you have five or more.

When conquering a player's last country, they are eliminated and you capture their cards. If this causes you to have five or more cards, you must turn in cards in the middle of your turn.

Selecting cards

When the cards sheet drops down, you can select cards to turn in. Selected cards are displayed with a shadow. The best cards are already selected for you.

If you wish to turn in different cards, click a card to select or deselect it. Then click OK.

Set values

In addition, you receive two armies on each country you own whose card is turned in.
