## Rules questions

### If I unlock a die, can I place it and use its Forest or Building action right away?

Yes — once a die is unlocked you place it on an empty Forest space and may immediately perform the Forest action and/or one Building action (follow the die-value rules). (pages 6, 9)

### Can I do both a Forest Action and a Building Action when I place a die?

Yes; you may perform one Forest Action (only if your die’s value is equal or higher than all other dice in that region) and/or one Building Action (your die must meet the Building’s minimum value), but you cannot do more than one of each per die placement. (page 9)

### What happens when I cross the river — do I have to lower my die and can I choose any Favor?

When you cross you move the die to an empty Hill space and pay an Act of Contrition by reducing the die by 1 (or by 3 if it was showing 6); the die’s value does not restrict which Favor you may take, and you cannot cross with a die showing 1. (pages 10–11)

### If I use another player's Building action, do they get anything?

Yes — if you use a Building Action on a Building owned by another player, that Building’s owner automatically receives the Property Bonus shown on the tile (from the common supply). (page 9)

### How is turn order decided in Autumn — what counts in the Home of the Great Spirit?

Turn order is set by the dice in the Home of the Great Spirit: the player whose die occupies the highest position goes first, then the next highest, etc.; if a player has multiple dice only their highest one counts, and if no dice are present the turn order stays the same. (page 12)

### Can I use a locked die by discarding a Pilgrim, and what happens to that Pilgrim?

Yes — you may permanently discard a Pilgrim from your player board to use a locked die immediately, and that Pilgrim is removed from the game. (pages 6, 9)
