At the start of each round exactly 4 new Employee cards are revealed next to the Hire spaces; then in Phase 2 each player secretly selects 3 Employee cards from their Employee supply into their hand, reshuffling the discard into a new supply only if you don’t have enough cards (see page 3).

You must play exactly one hand card on your turn and perform its single main action; after (and only after) the main action you may use the Employee bonus shown on that card (you may forfeit the main action and/or the bonus), and different card ranks (Master/Journeyman/Apprentice) restrict which main actions you may take (see page 4).

No — level‑6 Employee cards (they show a crown and red bonus background) do not grant their bonuses during the game; their effects only apply during final scoring (see page 4).

After paying the Dress’s Livre cost and surrendering the required resources you must immediately choose to either flip it to its rental side and place it on a free Guest space (then place one of your Property markers) or sell it for the printed money; if no appropriate Guest space is available you must sell the Dress (see page 5).

Hired Employee cards are taken into your hand and may be played later in the current round; when you Depute a card you first gain the Livre shown on the carriage, you may then use that card’s bonus, and afterwards the card is removed from the game — you may depute both your own and hired Employees but you may not depute if you have only four Employee cards left in your deck (see page 5).
