-
Gold Cache - In case of a Plague, does the Gold Cache lose gold?
The Gold Cache in an extraordinary site, and Plagues only affect regions adjacent to cities. Therefore, since the Gold Cache is not a region, events that affect regions can't make you lose the gold stored in the Gold Cache. On the other hand, however, you can't use cards that affect regions - such as the* Large Trade Ship* card - to take something away from a Gold Cache, and you also won't obtain any gold from it via events that affect regions.
-
Development Cards in General - May I play Development Cards before rolling the dice?
Yes. Note that you may play only 1 Development Card per turn: if you have played this card before rolling the dice, you are not allowed to play another one afterwards.
