## Rules questions

### If I pass a building but don't stop on it, can I take its action?

No — you only take the action of the location your herder ends on; spaces without a building tile are ignored during movement and passing a location does not grant its action. (pages 6–7).

### Can I use Cowboys or extra steps to move past El Paso?

No — you are not allowed to move past El Paso; your herder must stop there and resolve all three El Paso actions, and Cowboys cannot be used to move past El Paso. (pages 6, 9, 12).

### What happens if I draw a worker card during the Draw Phase?

When you draw a worker card from your draw stack, immediately place it in your worker area; a worker card is never added to your hand and does not count toward your hand size. (page 7).

### When I deliver at El Paso, do duplicate cattle count more than once toward my breeding total?

No — for the delivery you total the breeding values of each different cattle type in hand, counting each type only once; duplicates only count if a specific bonus tile allows one duplicate, and you may add permanent or spent certificates to raise the total. (page 12).

### If I discard workers to buy cattle, use the train, or place buildings, do I get their worker bonuses?

No — discarding workers as part of the cost for those actions does not grant their worker bonuses (discarding as an extra separate action can still give bonuses). (pages 11, 9).
