University - If I have lost the University through an Arsonist or if a Witch is placed on it, can I play Action Cards that require a University?
No.
-
Hand of Cards and Drawing Cards - What do both players have to take into consideration regarding the hand limit?
It is important for both the active and passive player to observe the hand limit at all times. If the passive player receives cards through events or actions performed by his opponent and thus exceeds his hand limit, he immediately must reduce the number of cards in his hand to the number allowed. Only then can the active player continue with his turn.
Note: This rule is valid for the old Catan Card game. The rule for the Rivals for Catan is different.
-
Gold Cache - Is it allowed to choose the Gold Cache when a Feud is drawn?
No, the Gold Cache in an "extraordinary" site and thus cannot be selected when a Feud is drawn.
-
The Rivers of Catan + Seafarers (in general) - May I build ships on the dotted lines?
Yes, provided that you'd be allowed to build a ship there if the line didn’t exist.
-
Placed cards - What happens with a card whose placement requires another card if the required card is removed afterwards?
The card stays where it is and retains its effect. Requirements must only be met when playing the card; afterwards, they are irrelevant.
-
Odin's Temple - In the Theme Game, may I remove Odin's Temple and then build it again, so that the opponent can't build it?
You may remove Odin's Temple and build it again. This, however, will not prevent the opponent from building Odin's Temple, because in the Theme Game a removed Temple is placed face up again.
