Influence Cards - General - If an action card containing various actions (e.g., two expansions, three borders) is played, when are the actions scored: right after implementing each action or, as indicated in the game rules, at the end of the turn?

Domaine

The consequences of playing an action card become effective immediately after each implemented action: the score is marked on the scoring track at the end of the turn.

End of the Game - In case of a tie, who is the winner?

Domaine

According to the game rules, the player who has the most ducats is the winner. If the tying players also have the same amount of ducats, they share the victory.

End of the Game - It may happen that some (or even all) players have no gold at the end of the game. This situation only becomes interesting if one player has gold and all others don't – can a player with 0 gold have the second most amount of gold?

Domaine

A player who doesn’t have ducats at all doesn’t have the most or second most ducats either.

End of the Game - When the last card is drawn from the action deck, the players – one by one – still play their cards. If the king token is reached during this phase, does the game end immediately or do the players finish playing their cards?

Domaine

In this case, the game ends immediately.

General Questions - Does the neutral party also count as a player?

Domaine

No. The neutral party only places game pieces.

General Questions - In a 2-player game, does the neutral color also score victory points if this color receives Domains during the game?

Domaine

The “neutral player” does not receive points.

Influence Card Action “Alliance” - Is it possible to cancel an alliance?

Domaine

Alliances are effective until the game ends.

Influence Card Action “Alliance” - What happens if the border marker between two allies is rotated 90 degrees?

Domaine

The alliance continues. Rotating a border marker 90 degrees is only a reminder. If this reminder is removed by the a third player's expansion, another border marker between the allied Domains is rotated 90 degrees. If the border between two allied Domains is completely removed, it is on you to remember that these Domains are allied. Therefore, an expansion isn’t allowed in this case either.

Influence Card – Action “Deserter” - Do I have to be able to place a deserted knight, or is it only required that my opponent remove the knight, while it is optional for me to place the knight?

Domaine

You can only perform the action “Deserter” if you’re able to place the deserted knight.

Influence Card – Action “Deserter” - If, after playing a Deserter card, I place the deserted knight on a forest territory in one of my Domains, do I also have to pay one ducat?

Domaine

Yes.

Influence Card – Action “Deserter” - In a 2-player game, may I play the Deserter against the neutral player?

Domaine

Yes.

Influence Card – Action “Deserter” - May a Deserter only be played against an opponent’s Domain?

Domaine

Yes. According to the game rules, a Domain is defined as an area that is completely surrounded by borders and contains one castle.
