Pandemic
Can I play or discard Event cards to get down to the hand limit?
The designer confirmed playing or discarding Events is allowed.

Yes. You can play an Event (including one you just drew) instead of discarding, and if you prefer you can also discard an Event like any other card. Playing one that brings you to seven removes the need to discard.
