Lisboa: Queen Variant
Replaces a specific decree card with a variant that alters late-game options. When this card appears, players lose the ability to take new decree cards, shifting the available actions for the remainder of the game. The variant ties into a historical regency theme: a change in royal authority changes political power and removes one avenue of influence. Players must adapt their strategies to the reduced decree options and plan ahead for endgame scoring and resource use.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
When does the Queen replace the Marquis?
When brown card 57 is revealed, the current player finishes their turn as usual. Then place the Queen card over the Marquis’ portrait and the Noble Actions card over his Noble action (p. 1).
What happens to the decrees when the Queen appears?
Return all decrees remaining in the deck and display to the box. No new decrees can be gained; any ability that would provide one does nothing (p. 1).
Do Marquis cards and other Marquis-related effects refer to the Queen now?
Yes. From then on, Marquis cards, Marquis Royal Favor tiles, Clergy tiles, and anything else referring to the Marquis refer to the Queen instead (p. 1).
What can I do with the Queen’s Noble action?
When you visit the Queen, her Noble action lets you either build a Store or open a Public Building (p. 1).
Do any other rules change when the Queen replaces the Marquis?
No. All other rules in the game remain the same (p. 1).
