## Rules questions

### When I Exhaust a card, is it used up for the whole game or just until my next turn?

Exhaust places a State token on the card and is only used on your Activate turn; those State tokens are removed during Clean‑up so the card is available again on later turns (see page 15).

### If I don't have any State or set‑aside tokens left, can I still take Actions or use Exhaust abilities?

To take an Action you must set aside an Action token from your State card, and you need State tokens on your State card to use Exhaust abilities—if you have none you may not take that Action or use Exhausts (see pages 14–15).

### Can I use Exhaust abilities during Solstice, Innovate, or Revolt turns?

No—Exhaust abilities can only be used on your own Activate turn and may never be used during Solstice or during an Innovate or Revolt turn, unless a card explicitly says otherwise (see page 15 and Solstice on page 16).

### When I reshuffle my Draw deck, do I always add a Nation or Development card to my discard?

You add a Nation or Development card during a reshuffle only if you have an available Reshuffle token and at least one card in your Nation deck or Development area; if you don’t meet those conditions you skip those steps and just shuffle your discard (see page 16).

### Do I have to discard down to my hand size at the end of my turn?

No—you may discard any number of cards during Clean‑up, but you are never forced to discard down to your hand size (see page 15).

### Can I pay a cost on a card even if the rest of its effect can't be resolved?

Yes—anything before “to” is a cost and you may pay a cost even if the effect cannot be fully resolved; if you pay the cost you must then resolve the result as much as possible (see page 14).
