Ok, suppose I'm the US player. If I play an asterisked card belonging to the soviets for the OP points, does it get removed from the game after I use it, or does that only happen if the soviet player plays it for the event?
When you play an opponent's event for OPS, the event occurs. In this case, as the US player, you would choose whether the event occurs first or the OPS are spent first, but both would happen, and the card would be removed from the game. (Exception: UN Intervention.)
With the space race, you only consider the OPs required to roll the die, you don't use the text of the card, right?
Essentially correct. You *discard* cards played to the Space Race.
can someone explain when you have the china card face up versus down?
Face up: it can be played. Face down: it cannot. At the beginning of each turn, if the China Card is face down, it is flipped face up.
