Worth clarifying, if clarification is needed, that the reverse is also true: If the current rule is `Play 3` and your second play is `Play 1` you stop your turn immediately.

<p>In Fluxx, the Draw X cards state that the current player may draw more cards so as to have drawn that number of cards on their turn.  Does the same thing apply to Play X?  For example, if the current Play rule is for 1 card, and the player plays a Play 2 rule, does that very play get a second play on that turn?</p>
