Can a card played as an event be retrieved from the discard pile later?
The designer confirmed event cards are removed from the game, which the rulebook also says.

No. A card played as an event is removed from the game, not discarded, so discard-retrieval effects such as Tricky Dick cannot recover it. Discarding puts a card in the discard pile where such effects can reach it; removing takes it out of the game for good.
