## Rules questions

### How many action cards do I play each turn — and can I use both sides of a card in the same round?

On your turn you choose one action card and take one of its two printed actions; once played the card cannot be used again that round. You play 2 cards on your first two turns (so 2 actions each) and only 1 card on your final turn. (page 9)

### How does the Joker card work — does it cost anything to use?

The Joker lets you take any one other action, but using it costs you 1 reputation (the penalty is waived if your reputation is 6 or higher). (page 14)

### When I take the Mine action where am I allowed to place a mine tile and how do I pay the cost?

You must place on a mine entrance, beside an existing mine, or below an existing mine (never on rock or an existing mine); entrance builds cost 2 wood and other squares use the cost printed on the adjacent/above mine, and if multiple costs apply you pay the highest. (page 10)

### Do I have to get Rights before I can build a building in town?

Yes — you must take a building tile via the Rights action (only top tiles of stacks; guild tiles only if you have that guild) and pay the permit/groschen cost, then store the tile in one of your three slots on your board before you can build it. If your slots are full you cannot take a Rights action. (page 11)

### When I perform the Building action how do I pay and do guild house effects trigger?

Choose a claimed plot, return the plot marker, place the tile and pay wood cost as (tile wood × current wood price in groschen), then resolve the tile's effects and flip it face-down; if it’s a guild building place a house and remove the leftmost house from that guild row to trigger its house effect, while public buildings give no house effect. (page 12)

### What happens at the end of the round about taxes — do my claimed plots change how much I pay?

At round end each player must either pay the tax shown for that round or take the reputation loss instead; having more than one plot in Kutná Hora increases your tax by +3 groschen for two plots or +8 groschen for three (you don't pay the plot surcharge if you choose the reputation loss). (page 16)
