Some random questions
-
Spice Caravan - Can I play the Spice Caravan if my opponent has only 1 resource?
Yes. In this case, you only receive this 1 resource.
-
Bailiwick - May I draw 1 card each turn or only once, when I build the Bailiwick?
You may draw a card on each of your turns, including the turn during which you build the Bailiwick.
-
Building Permits - Does a Building Permit of value “zero” entitle a player to build a building?
Yes. A Building Permit of value “zero” is also a Building Permit, and as long as it is the only one used, it is more valuable than no Building Permit at all.
-
Large Trade Ship, also compare: Trade ships - How does the Large Trade Ship combine with Hergild the Master Merchant?
The two don't combine at all. If you play Hergild the Master Merchant, the exchange rate for a resource you have a trade ship for increases. The Large Trade Ship isn't associated with any resource type and may not be used when Hergild is played.
Note: Hergild the Master Merchant belongs to the Age of Darkness expansion.
-
Commodities - May I steal commodities from my game partners?
Yes.
-
Victory Conditions - What if someone has reached the required number of victory points for a win but is unaware of it? Did this player win anyway?
Yes. The game ends as soon as a player has reached the required number of victory points on his turn. If he’s unaware of it, you should tell him, because you can’t take an already gained victory away from him.
-
Barbarians III: Players are Defeated - What happens if I have to downgrade a city to a settlement but don’t have another settlement in my supply?
Turn one of your cities on its side and treat it as a settlement until you have upgraded it to a city again.
-
Largest Army – (See also: Development Cards “Knight”) - Do my unplayed Knight Cards also count for claiming the Largest Army?
No. A Knight Card that hasn’t been revealed is like a lottery slip where you marked six winning numbers but then didn’t submit it to enter the drawing: it’s useless!
