## Rules questions

### How many cards do I draft each week, and what happens to the cards I don’t play?

You are dealt 5 cards and draft 4 of them, playing one card each day. When you are passed a hand of 2 cards, play one and discard the other facedown; the Week Phase then ends. (Rulebook, p. 4)

### Can more than one player claim the same Goal?

Yes. Every player who meets a Goal’s requirements may claim it and receives the full SP and bonuses. Each player may claim no more than 6 Goals during the game. (Rulebook, p. 5)

### Do newly revealed Goals become available immediately?

No. A Goal revealed to replace a claimed or impossible Goal cannot be claimed until the next Weekend Phase. You may also choose not to claim an available Goal. (Rulebook, p. 5)

### Can I save a bonus and use it later?

No. Bonuses must be used immediately and then crossed off; if a bonus cannot be used, it is lost. If you earn multiple bonuses at once, you may use them in any order. (Rulebook, p. 7)

### Can I use a Play card to go Touring or add an Album or Single?

No. Touring and Releases cannot be earned directly from Play cards; they come from bonuses in other sections or from certain Goals. Each Touring bonus lets you visit one available venue, while Album and Single bonuses cross off the leftmost available space in the matching Releases row. (Rulebook, pp. 7–8)

### Can I rotate or move a Crew member after I hire them?

No. A Crew member must be placed in a matching, available post, and their skills must be recorded in the same orientation shown on the card. Once hired, the member cannot be removed, relocated, replaced, or have their SP modified. (Rulebook, pp. 8–9)
