Aquatica
Is a character card you have just played counted as in your hand, in your discard pile, or neither?
Several players agree and the designer tentatively endorsed it, but there is no firm official ruling.

Neither, while it is on the board. The rulebook says to move a played character to your discard pile after the action, but until then the played card is in neither place, as players agree and the designer tentatively endorsed. A goal or effect that counts cards in hand or in the discard pile does not include a card you have just played.
