in case of  GoStop,

rain suits are counted.

its 'pi' (=lowest value) is counted as 2 'pi''s. (great!)

therefore, rian suits has a disadvantage for 'blight' card
and an advantage for 'pi' card.

as for other pieces of rain card, they are normally counted.

Wow, this kind of English is really challenging to me !!!

I had real hard times to express myself at the time,
but it was a piece of cake compared with describing GoStop rule sets in English.
Am I the first native Korean speaker to do this? lol !!!
