“Cities & Knights” Expansion
-
Knights - May I directly build a strong knight if I pay 2 ore and 2 wool?
Yes, provided that your supply still contains a basic knight. In this case, you have first built a basic knight and then promoted him on the same turn, all of which complies with the rule.
-
Knights - May I first promote a knight and then use him to perform an action?
Yes, provided that the knight has been activated on a previous turn.
-
Knights - May I immediately place a stronger knight on an intersection occupied by an opponent’s weaker knight, thus driving away his knight?
No. A knight must first be placed on a free intersection of one's own continuous road.
-
Knights - May I immediately use a newly built road to relocate my knights and displace weaker knights that belong to my opponents?
Yes.
-
Knights - May I move my knight past a foreign knight if the latter is located between the intersection my knight was standing on and the intersection I want to move him to?
No.
-
Knights - May I place a knight on a free intersection between 2 of my own roads if both neighboring intersections are occupied by other players’ knights?
Yes.
-
Knights - May I promote a knight immediately after building him?
Yes.
-
Knights - May I remove one of my own knights from the game board if I don’t need him anymore?
No.
-
Knights - May I still build, trade, and play Progress Cards after activating my knights?
Yes.
-
Knights - May I use a knight to interrupt an opponent’s Longest Road?
Yes.
-
Knights - May I use an activated knight to drive away the robber before the dice roll?
No.
-
Merchant - Do I keep the victory point for the Merchant figure if one of my opponents takes this game piece away from me?
No. You receive 1 victory point when you take over the Merchant figure, and you lose the victory point as soon as an opponent plays a Merchant card and thus takes over the Merchant figure.
-
Merchant - Does the Merchant’s exchange rate apply to all players who settle adjacent to the hex he is standing on?
No, it applies only to the Merchant's owner.
-
Merchant - May I use my Merchant figure for trading if the robber stands on the same hex as the Merchant?
Yes. Those two get along very well, all the more so as merchants are purported to be the real robbers.
-
Merchant - May I use the Merchant figure to trade resources for commodities?
Yes.
