…Population Crash says “take a card from the draw pile and place it on the discard pile,” instead of “draw a card and place it on the discard pile.” If a Creeper comes up this way, does the active player have to take it and put it in play, or does it just go on the discard pile?

A: You are not technically drawing those cards to use them. You are merely flipping them over to find the next Goal card to give direction to the Population Crash Action, so we would rule that you do not have to take Creepers revealed this way.

Also see: What happens if a Creeper comes up when Pandora’s Box is played? Noting that our intention was that Pandora’s Box be a similar card flipping, not drawing… but we messed up the wording on the most recent printing.
