## Rules questions

### Do I draw up to four cards at the start of my turn?

No — you only draw at the end of your turn if you have fewer than four cards, and if your Villain deck is empty you shuffle your discard to form a new deck. (page 4)

### If I can't do what a card says, can I still play it?

No — if you cannot do what the card instructs, you may not play it; however, if the card text uses "may," that part is optional and you can still play the card. (page 10)

### When I Vanquish a Hero, do I have to discard the Allies I used and where does the Hero go?

Yes — to Vanquish you discard the Ally or Allies used to your Villain discard pile, and you discard the defeated Hero to your Fate discard pile; multiple Allies may combine their Strengths to meet the Hero's Strength. (page 6)

### If I reveal Fate cards and neither can be played, do I get to reveal new ones?

No — if a revealed Fate card cannot be played it must be discarded, and if both revealed cards cannot be played you discard both without effect; you do not reveal replacements. (pages 5, 10)

### In a 5- or 6-player game, what does the Fate Token do — can I be targeted while I have it?

When you are targeted by a Fate action you take the Fate Token from the last player who was targeted, and while you have the Token you may not be the target of a Fate action, though you can still be affected by Conditions and other card Abilities. (page 9)
