FAQ: The Rivals for Catan
The “Age of Darkness” Expansion
-
Trading Post - Is my Trading Post protected by a Fire Brigade?
No, but protection isn't necessary anyway.
-
Trading Post - May I put gold I received via the Trading Post into a Gold Cache?
No. The trade is performed between two regions.
-
Trading Post - May I use a Trading Post before resolving the result of the event die roll?
No.
-
Trading Station - May I determine the resource my opponent must give me?
Yes.
-
Triumph Card - When I place the Triumph Card, does it start with 0 or 1 victory point?
Zero.
-
Wainwright - May I use the Wainwright during the same turn I have placed him?
Yes.
-
Wainwright - May I use the Wainwright to move gold to the Gold Cache?
No.
-
Wainwright - May I use the Wainwright to move grain from one fields region to 2 other fields regions or from 2 fields regions to one?
No. You may only move resources between two regions of the same type.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Can I obtain Wolfgang if I receive 1 gold via the production die roll?
Yes, provided that you now have at least 2 gold in total.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Can I obtain Wolfgang if I win the Celebration event and take a gold as a reward?
Yes. In this case, you receive the gold before it is checked whether Wolfgang changes over.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Can I take over Wolfgang if the Gold Cache is the only place where I have gold?
Yes.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Do both adjacent regions receive 1 resource each, even though none of the two numbers was rolled, or does only an adjacent region whose number was rolled receive 1 resource?
The regions adjacent to Wolfgang can receive 1 resource each (provided that there's room for it and the player wants it). The number rolled with the production die is irrelevant.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Do I receive the 2 resources for Wolfgang even if my opponent has the most skill points?
Yes.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - In what order are the consequences of the event die result resolved if Wolfgang has been placed?
When the "Celebration" event is rolled, the exact order of actions is as follows:
- The player with the most skill points chooses any 1 resource and places it on the corresponding region. If both players have the same number of skill points, both players take 1 resource.
- If one of the players has determined the Celebration via Reiner the Herald, he receives another resource.
- Wolfgang's owner may take 1 resource on each region directly adjacent to Wolfgang.
- Wolfgang changes over to the other player if he can and the player wants him.
- If a player has a Builders' Hut and less than 3 stars on a Public Feeling (or less then 6 stars on two Public Feeling cards), he receives a star.
Note: Builders' Hut and Public Feeling cards belong to the Age of Enlightenment expansion.
-
Wolfgang the Street Performer - Is Wolfgang a hero?
All "Rivals" cards with proper names are hero cards - also Wolfgang, unlike his predecessor Flavo.
