Barbarians & Traders

• Colony Outpost - Do I lose the gold also in case I’m defeated when the Barbarian Invasion occurs?

  Yes.

• Colony Outpost - Does Flavo also change places if I only have gold at my Colony Outpost?

  Yes.

• Colony Outpost - Dose the Colony Outpost also receive gold if I rotate the region adjacent to the Year of Plenty to the next higher gold value?

  No.

• Colony Outpost - If my opponent attacks or a Brigand Attack occurs, does the gold on the Colony Outpost count as a regular resource?

  Only in case of a Barbarian Invasion.

• Colony Outpost - What can I do with the Colony Outpost’s gold?

  You can use the gold for actions that either require the possession of gold or for which you have to pay gold. However, you are not allowed to move it around within your own principality.

• Dogma - Can I place a Dogma on a Building that already carries a Witch?

  No. You could have played the Witch only if you already owned a Citadel - but if you own a Citadel, you no longer can play a Dogma.

  Note: The Citadels and Witches belong to the theme set "Wizards & Dragons", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Dogma - Can I place a Dogma on a Secret Society that imitates a Library, Church, or University?

  No. You may only place it directly on the Buildings listed on the card.

• Dogma - Can I place a Witch on a Building that already carries a Dogma?

  Yes. You definitely may first play a Dogma and then build a Citadel and use the latter to play a Witch.

  Note: The Citadels and Witches belong to the theme set "Wizards & Dragons", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Dogma - In what order do I remove a Dogma and a Witch that are placed on the same Building?

  That depends on which player is the first one to roll a “?”.

  • The Dogma is removed as soon as the player who played it rolls a “?”.
  • The Witch is removed as soon as the owner of the Building with the Witch rolls a “?”.

  In each case, the respective other card remains on the Building.

  Note: Witches belong to the theme set "Wizards & Dragons", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Eryn the Druid - Can I play Eryn if Buildings in my principality are carrying Witches or Dogmas, and I thus have less victory points?

  Yes.

  Note: The Witches belong to the theme set "Wizards & Dragons", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Eryn the Druid - Can I play Eryn if my Abbey carries a Witch or Pawnbroker?

  No. (Attention: In the rulebook this is stated wrong.)

  Note: The Witches belong to the theme set "Wizards & Dragons", the Pawnbroker belongs to the theme sets "Trade & Change", both are part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Flagship - Does the Flagship also protect a Pirate Fleet from other Pirate Fleets?

  No.

  Note: The Pirate Fleets belong to the theme sets "Knights & Merchant" and "Science & Progress", which are part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Flagship - If I have a Smithy, does the Flagship receive an additional victory point?

  No.

• Flavo the Fool - Can I get Flavo by paying one gold I received via the Archdiocese?

  Yes, if you have received the gold before it is checked whether Flavo changes over or not.

  Note: The Archdiocese belongs to the theme sets "Politics & Intrigue", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.

• Flavo the Fool - Can I get Flavo if I receive 1 gold as a result of the Production Die roll?

  No. In this case, it has already been checked - before you receive the gold - whether Flavo changes over or not.
