Component Action

Category: Action Phase
Previous: Strategic Action | Next: Tactical Action
A component action is a specific type of action that a player can perform during their turn of an action phase. 
Component actions can be found on various game components, including action cards, technology cards, leader abilities, exploration cards, promissory notes, relics and faction sheets. Each component action is indicated by an “ACTION:” header.
To perform a component action, a player reads the action’s text and follows the instructions as described.
A component action cannot be performed if its ability cannot be completely resolved (for example, there is no valid targets for a component action card).
If a component action is canceled (e.g. the use of a Sabotage on an action card), that player must still perform their turn.
