## Rules questions

### Can I end my move on a space that already has another figure or a Monument? Can I move through them?

You may move through spaces occupied by figures, Monuments, Water, Rivers, or Camel Caravans, but you must end your movement in an empty, non‑Water space; each space can be occupied by exactly 1 figure or 1 Monument at a time (pp. 7, 15).

### Can my God be killed in battle?

No — God figures can never be killed; Battles kill Warriors and Guardians only, while Gods are exempt (pp. 8, 24).

### If I take a first action, can I choose any second action (including one above the first)?

No — after your first action you may take a second action only in a lower line on the central dashboard than your first; if your first action triggers an event you get no second action, and there are special single‑marker cases such as when the first action is Unlock Ankh Power or when you are merged (pp. 14, 25).

### What happens to Battle cards after I play them—do they return to my hand?

Played Battle cards remain faceup next to you and are not returned automatically, so which cards you have used is open information for opponents (pp. 11, 24).

### When several players gain or lose Devotion at the same time, who resolves those changes first?

Resolve simultaneous Devotion gains/losses starting with the player with the least Devotion and proceed in ascending order; when tokens share a space the newly arriving token is placed on top (p. 11).
