Q. How many cards should I have in my hand?
A. Whenever you play a card or cards on a turn besides your own, such as when you trump or play a Salsa Swipe, ALWAYS draw back up to four cards immediately. At the beginning of your turn, draw to five cards.

Should a player draw up to four cards after they play during their own turn as well? Otherwise, it would seem impossible to be able to play a trump on another player’s salsa hand if the opportunity arises prior to your turn in a given round. So, for example, if I were to play a three card salsa hand and no one else trumps, the spinner is spun and we move on to the next player. If that player is able to play a salsa hand, I am only left with two cards (and therefore am unable to trump) unless I was supposed to draw up to four before it moved to the next player.
Thanks! Having fun with the game!
Yes, you want to always have four cards in your hand at all times. If it is your turn, you should have five.
