## Rules questions

### When do I apply Special Effects and collect Income — immediately when I place a Plot tile or at the end of the turn?

Special Effects are applied and then Income is collected as part of the turn sequence after placing tiles; follow the order shown in the turn sequence and examples (see page 3 and the examples on pages 6–7).

### Can I discard a Plot tile instead of placing it on my turn?

Yes — discarding a tile is a legal part of play and is demonstrated in the step-by-step example of a first turn; follow the discard step in the turn sequence (see page 6 and the turn sequence on page 3).

### How and when do I refill the Plot tile display?

Refilling the Plot tile display happens during the turn sequence after tiles are taken — replace tiles immediately according to the refill rules described in the turn sequence (see page 3).

### What are the rules for the Cemetery — what goes there and how does it affect play?

The Cemetery holds discarded or removed estate tiles and is governed by the Cemetery rules; consult the estate descriptions and cemetery rules for how tiles are sent there and any effects (see page 5 and related Event rules on page 8).

### When does the game end and how is final scoring handled (including penalties)?

End-of-game scoring and penalties are applied according to the final scoring section; use the end-of-game scoring rules and the penalty reminder in the estate descriptions when tallying final points (see page 7 for scoring and page 4 for penalties).
