Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Can I use a favour I gain during an activity right away?
No. All favours are taken during Step 6, so they cannot be used during the current activity. (p. 1)
Does Dr. Clarkson let me use a guest from the discard pile in this activity?
No. During Step 6, his favour moves any gentry card from the discard pile to your active hand, but he never refreshes a guest for the current activity. (p. 1)
Can Glencora & Plantagenet Palliser flip any tile in my organiser?
They let you flip a tile that has not yet been used, but not one showing a rose; if no tile qualifies, ignore the favour. Their prestige rating of 7 also requires Max reputation during standard play. (p. 1)
What happens each turn while Sir Wallace Carter is my houseguest?
Roll a d20 to evaluate his favour: on 1–18, gain £100; on 19–20, lose 4 reputation and dismiss him automatically. He is not in your active hand, and you may also dismiss him using a dismissal action. (p. 2)
When I draw Sir Charles Fitzwilliam, do I dismiss guests immediately?
Yes. Announce his arrival, immediately dismiss two casual guests from your active hand and/or discard pile (not casual guests with negative end-game VP), then put Sir Charles in your active hand. For the Lionheart Suite, reputation doubles but the dismissal action does not. (p. 2)
