# Draw a card from the stock or from the discard pile

Frequently, you will have to draw a new card from the stock
The stock is a pile or pool, that holds the cards that were not dealt at the start of the game. During the game, you can draw additional cards from the stock.
, or in some games, from the discard pile
The discard pile is a separate pile of cards that are turned face up, next to the stock, available in some games. During the game, you can draw cards from the discard pile, and you end your turn by playing a card onto the discard pile.
. There are many ways to draw a card; use the one that suits you best.

## Draw by clicking the card

The easiest way to draw a card from the stock or from the discard pile, is by clicking the card that you want to draw.

If the cardset represents tiles, then the stock looks like a pool of tiles, and you can pick any tile you like. If it represents cards, then the stock looks like a pile of cards, and you can only pick up the top card.

The discard pile always looks like a pile, and the top card is the only card available to pick up.

## Using the Draw menu button

In menu Playing the game, click
Draw.

If you can only draw from the stock, or only from the discard pile, then a card is drawn now.

If you have a choice then you'll see a menu. Choose either Draw from the stock, or Draw from the discard pile.

## Using the End turn menu button

If you can end your turn by drawing a card from the stock, then you can do the following, too:

In menu Playing the game, click
End turn.

## Draw a card from the stock using the keyboard
