As far as I know, `Free Action` on a `New Rule` means it doesn't count as a `Play` when used. If I use the `Mystery Play` rule or any of its analogues does it count as a `Play`?

Analogues of `Mystery Play` include (some with slight variations such as conditional requirements for use):

* Wormhole in Star Fluxx
* Magic Shoes in Oz Fluxx
* Egads! in Batman Fluxx
* Open The Door in Monster Fluxx
* Magic Portal in Adventure Time Fluxx
* Chemical X in Cartoon Network Fluxx
* Time Doorway in Regular Show Fluxx
* Great Idea! in Stoner Fluxx

`Free Actions` do not count as a `Play` so `Mystery Play` and its analogues do not count as a `Play` and can be used anytime during your turn either before, during, or after drawing and playing.
