Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do I have to use all the Expanded Edition variants?
No. You may add any or all of the variants to the game at your discretion. (p. 1)
When do I claim a quest token, and when do I score it?
Claim it as soon as you own the goods or items pictured on it, then keep it near your player board. Score its listed village points at the end of the game. (p. 1)
How do I get a tool token, and how often can I use it?
At the start of each round, place one face-down tool token on top of the cave card deck; the first player to successfully Explore that round gains it. Each tool may be used once per round, and used tokens are flipped face up again at the end of the round. (p. 1)
Do villager status effects wear off?
No. A status token stays on the villager for the rest of the game, and its listed effect applies whenever relevant. You must use the Villager Status variant when playing with the Desert Labyrinth and Underforest tokens. (p. 2)
What do the Desert Labyrinth and Underforest tokens do during an Explore action?
Each time a player Explores, place one of these tokens on the card; its paragraph numbers replace the paragraph numbers on the card. Read the indicated paragraph in the Desert Labyrinth and Underforest Encounter Book. (p. 2)
Can I spend supplies to change an Explore die result, and are they worth points?
Yes. Spend supplies during a later Explore action to add 1 to a die result; at game end, every two supplies you own are worth 1 village point. (p. 2)
