Sense Making
-----------------
During the sense making stage, players discuss what resource they could use to get a better understanding of the situation.
To do so, they create "action cards", which then need to be selected by the players in order to be considered used. It is not mandatory to select cards
at this stage.

Anticipation

At least one action card must be selected in order to move to the next stage.
