## Rules questions

### Do I need to spend an Action token to deliver goods, and can I deliver only some of my Boxes?

Delivery of Goods does not require an Action token; you may deliver up to as many Boxes as you carry but must resolve them all in a single Delivery action (you choose how many to hand over that one time). (See page 24.)

### If I load a plant onto an Action token, is that token locked until I deliver or abandon the Box?

Yes — loading a plant flips that matching Action token and places the Box on it, locking both the token and the space until you either deliver the Box or move it to your Abandoned Goods space. (See pages 24 and 26.)

### Can I use the same Action token more than once on my turn?

No — each Action token can only be used once per turn; you may repeat the same type of action multiple times only if you have additional appropriate Action tokens to spend. (See page 9.)

### When I travel, does the die value have to meet my Worm's requirement, and can I modify the die with Prayers or coins?

To travel a route you must use an Action token whose die value is equal to or greater than the Worm’s requirement for that path, and you must be able to pay the Hydration/Food/Health costs before starting; you may modify a die’s value using Prayers or coins. (See pages 23 and 28.)

### When I deliver, does my Prestige reset and how do Song tokens affect the payout?

When you deliver you collect the fare plus the amount on your Prestige Track and any Song bonuses, and then your Prestige marker returns to 0; each Song token you have placed grants +1 coin per delivery and Song majority scores additional coins at game end. (See pages 24 and 29.)

### If I take the immediate reward on a Mission card, do I still score that Mission at the end of the game?

No — taking the immediate reward requires you to discard the Mission card and forfeit the end‑game Mission reward; to score the end‑game payout you must keep the Mission card beside your board when you receive it. (See page 11.)
