	'''Text boxes''' are a special kind of text that can only be added during gameplay using the '''~~Show~~ a text box''' [[Response]]. Unlike text actors, they can only have one specific font and color, and they cannot collide or use physics. They can optionally run a [[Rule]] when tapped. They can be useful to provide instructions, dialogue, alerts, buttons, or other interface text that doesn't need to be part of [[card]] space.
