As far as we can tell, you activate a creature, and your opponent can play an Immediate Order card in response to one of your actions. Running through the Activate phases (move, play order cards, use powers, take special action) taps a creature. Any Order cards except Minor orders taps a creature. You untap all your creatures at the start and end of each turn. Yes? So we can't figure out how to use Order cards that say they need to be used against tapped creatures - it seems to us that your opponent's creatures are always untapped during your turn, since he or she untaps them at the end of his or her turn every time. Also, if you use a Standard Action card, which taps your creature, does your creature get immediately tapped or can you proceed through the other phases? If taking treasure taps your creature, but you do that at the end of the phase anyway, what difference does it make to the other actions your creature can choose to take that turn? What are we missing about how tapping works? Also: we can't figure out the instructions for stacking. We're just playing the order rules as they come up. Any help greatly appreciated! It's a fantastic game to introduce youngsters to gaming with and I want to be doing it right! Thanks.

You can then play those order cards that work against tapped creatures.   If your opponent plays an "Immediate" card in response to one of your actions, that causes his Creature to tap during your turn. So you can also play those order cards that work against tapped creatures. Playing Immediate and Standard cards always taps a Creature, no matter whose turn it is (unless otherwise stated on the card). Only Minor cards do not tap.   Hope that helps.
