Does playing a 7 seize the initiative?

The rulebook states this directly.

Only when you surpass with it, meaning the 7 matches the lead suit. A 7 played as a lead, copy or pivot does not seize. 7s exist only in 4-player games. A surpassing 7 can still be played after someone has already seized (you get its actions); it just won't take the marker.
