Explorations - If I receive resources or ingredients, do I have to take them?

Candamir - The First Settlers

 

Each time a player receives resources or ingredients, he may decide whether he wants to accept them or partially or entirely reject them.

Bonus Movements - How are spaces with two terrain types treated in case of bonus movements? Is a space containing 2/3 pasture and 1/3 forest a pasture space, a forest space, or none of the two?

Candamir - The First Settlers

The space belongs to the same terrain type as the exploration tile placed on it (or, in a game with fewer than four players, as the exploration tile potentially placed on it).
Spaces adjacent to the river have to be considered either as “river” or as terrain the river runs through.
As far as explorations are concerned, the village belongs to the river in the grassland.

Bonus Movements - If I create a character card myself and provide it with two abilities that confer bonus movements, e.g., Swimmer and Forester, may I move one space further in case my exploration ends at the river or in the forest?

Candamir - The First Settlers

You may use only one bonus at the end of your exploration.

Bonus Movements - May I perform another bonus movement if the number of movement cards I have revealed exceeds the number of my endurance points?

Candamir - The First Settlers

Yes, as long as you still have endurance, you may perform the bonus movement if the requirements for it are met.

Endurance - May I hold a feast if my endurance is 0 or -1?

Candamir - The First Settlers

No; he who has no endurance to walk is not allowed to party either.

Endurance - May I use healing potions several times during my turn?

Candamir - The First Settlers

Yes, that’s allowed.

Endurance - When do I receive the endurance points when I pass a turn?

Candamir - The First Settlers

If you pass a turn, your endurance is immediately set to “4.”

Exploration - During my exploration, may I travel using just my bonus movement (one space per turn)?

Candamir - The First Settlers

 

No, you only have a bonus movement if you have endurance.

Exploration - If I’m exploring, and the last exploration tile before reaching my goal indicates that I have to take a test, which I fail… do I still move onto the space my goal token is on and receive my reward?

Candamir - The First Settlers

Yes; even though you fail a test, you don’t have to move your adventurer figure back.

Exploration - What do I do if my path is obstructed when beginning an exploration?

Candamir - The First Settlers

In the village – which isn’t even close to a corner – you always can choose between both open paths. Remember that another adventurer figure is not an obstacle: various adventurer figures may be placed together on the same space.

Exploration - What happens with the exploration tiles after a successful exploration? Does it stay on the game board, that is, is it placed face down on the game board again, or is it removed from the game?

Candamir - The First Settlers

 

You put the exploration tiles back into the box.

 

Explorations - Do I have to place victory point cubes immediately?

Candamir - The First Settlers

Yes; there is no way to “store” victory points.
