Players can take as many actions as they are able to and want during a turn.

Actions that *do* go in the queue:

* Playing a card
* Activating a skill
* Advancing
* Attacking
* Defending

Actions that *don't* go in the queue:

* Converting a card
* Playing an anomaly

<Note>
  Reactive skills also go into the queue, letting players answer them with an
  action.
