Tapestry
When a benefit lets me discard and draw tech cards, can I skip the discard?
The designer answered this directly on BGG.

Yes, discarding tech cards is optional. The designer confirmed that, and the science die result is optional too. Benefits are otherwise mandatory unless their text says optional. Players commonly resolve the discard and draw in either order, but the official FAQ is reported to require the discard first on some spaces (such as Rubber), so check the space's own wording.
