Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

When my teammate and I take a turn, do we both play a card?

Usually, only the active player plays a card; then their partner carries out that card’s actions too. Legatus and Proconsul are exceptions (p. 5).

Can my teammate and I share goods or personality cards?

No. You keep your goods and cards separate, and cannot exchange, lend, or trade them. Sestertii are the exception: a partner can take the cash they need from you (p. 5).

With a card that offers two actions, do both teammates choose the same one?

In team play, the player who plays the card chooses one action, and their partner must use the other action shown. Each carries out their own action (p. 5).

When I use a Prefect, do I get the province bonus as well as production?

If you choose a province with an active tile, take its depicted bonus good and then all houses in that province produce. Alternatively, take the cash bonus from all visible coins and flip the province tiles back to their goods sides (p. 2).

When does the game end, and do the other players still get a turn?

The game ends when someone buys the last card in the display or builds their 15th house; that player takes the Concordia Card. Everyone else gets one final turn before scoring (p. 1).
