When can you claim a stone: before or after playing a card?
The rulebook states this directly.

In the standard rules, you claim after playing a card and before drawing. The Expert variant instead lets you claim only at the start of your turn, before playing, which gives the opponent a chance to respond. Some older editions use start-of-turn claiming by default, so agree on one before playing.
