## Rules questions

### When does the board rotate — after we all take our actions or at some other time?

The board rotates 90° clockwise after all players have retrieved workers and taken their Gather Resources and Make Cheese actions for that turn; rotation happens when everyone is ready and then the next turn begins (see page 3).

### When do I retrieve my workers — can I take some back during the turn?

You retrieve workers at the start of each turn: take any of your workers that are facing you and those workers become available for that turn’s actions (see page 3).

### How many actions can I take each turn — can I Gather and Make in any order?

Each turn you may perform ONE Gather Resources action and ONE Make Cheese action, and you may do them in either order using your available workers (see page 3).

### When I Gather Resources, where do the resources come from and can I use them right away?

When you place a worker on a Resource Tile space you immediately take the corresponding number of resources from the Resource Tray (or the other tray if one runs out), and you may use resources on the same turn you acquired them (see page 4).

### Can one cheese complete multiple Orders or can I complete an Order after I draw it if I already made a matching cheese?

You can only complete one Order per Cheese Token, and you cannot retroactively complete an Order for a cheese you made before drawing that Order; Orders must be completed when the matching cheese is placed (see page 6).

### What exactly triggers game end, and do cheeses that haven't fully aged still count?

A player who places their final Cheese Token declares the game-end trigger; after all players finish the current turn the game ends, and all Cheese Tokens on the board count regardless of whether they have fully aged (see page 7).
