Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How many actions do I get on my turn?
You may take as many actions as you have pennies, so each player starts with enough for 2 actions. (p. 1)
When do we get more pennies, and who decides how to share them?
When the Outbreak or Infection Rate track reaches a new space with pennies on it, immediately distribute those pennies among the players as you see fit. If you can’t agree, the current player decides. (p. 1)
How do I get an Event card, and can I do it during another player’s turn?
Spend a penny to the box to take a face-up Event card into your hand; you may do this at any time except between drawing and resolving a card. (p. 1)
Can I use pennies I get in the middle of an Epidemic right away?
No. Pennies received between drawing and resolving a card can’t be used until that card has been resolved. (p. 1)
Do I have to be in the same city to give another player a penny?
No. Transfer Funds is an action that lets you give a penny to any other player, wherever they are. (p. 1)
