## Rules questions

### How many roles do I control, and how do their turns work?

You control 3 roles and take their full turns one at a time, in left-to-right order; use the brown pawn to mark whose turn it is. (p. 1)

### Do I use the Researcher when playing solo?

No. Remove the Researcher Role card; it is not used in solo play. (p. 1)

### Does each role have its own hand of cards?

No. All 3 roles share one hand, with a hand limit of 7 cards total. The archive can help manage cards beyond that limit. (p. 1)

### How many cards go in the archive, and is there a limit?

During setup, deal 3 City cards faceup beside the board to form the archive. There is no limit to how many cards it can hold. (p. 1)

### What can I do with Share Knowledge in solo play?

Instead of the normal Share Knowledge action, you may deposit the City card matching your location from your hand into the archive, or withdraw that matching card from the archive into your hand. (p. 2)

### Do the rest of the game rules change for solo play?

No. Follow the normal turn steps, actions, and win and loss rules; the solo rules change how you control roles and use cards. (p. 1)
