## Rules questions

### How do we set up the Region and Sanctuary cards at the start of the game?

Shuffle the Region deck and deal 3 face‑down to each player (they look at them privately), place the Region deck in the center and reveal as many Region cards as there are players plus one; shuffle the Sanctuary cards into a face‑down Sanctuary deck (page 3).

### What do the numbers, day/night icons, Clues, denizen quests, and resource icons on Region cards mean?

The card number is the exploration duration (unique 1–68); sun/moon indicate daytime or nighttime exploration relevance; Clues grant access to more Sanctuaries; the lower part shows denizen quests that give fame at endgame; resources (uddu/okiko/goldlog) are used to satisfy quests and prerequisites (page 4).

### When do I get a Sanctuary card during the game?

You receive Sanctuary cards in phase 2 if the exploration duration of the Region you just played is higher than the Region you played previously; you draw one Sanctuary plus one additional Sanctuary per Clue you currently have in your play area (page 6).

### If I draw multiple Sanctuary cards, how many can I keep and when do I add it to my tableau?

From the Sanctuary cards you draw that turn you choose one (only one) to add to your play area during the End of the Exploration phase; any leftover Sanctuary cards you drew are placed face‑down under the Sanctuary deck (page 6).

### How is turn order determined in the End of the Exploration phase and what do I do on my turn?

Players take turns starting with the player who played the smallest exploration duration that round and proceed upward by duration; on your turn you first choose a Region card from the center (to return your hand to three), then add one chosen Sanctuary to your tableau if you received any (page 6).

### How do we score at the end of the game and what is the tiebreaker?

After round 8 reveal your Region cards from the rightmost (last played) to the leftmost and for each Region calculate fame using all face‑up Regions and your Sanctuaries, then add Sanctuary fame; highest total wins, and in case of a tie the tied player with the lowest total exploration duration in their tableau wins (page 7).
