## Rules questions

### How many actions can I take on my turn — can I move and still take two actions?

You either take ACTION + ACTION (two actions at your current location, no movement) or ACTION + MOVE + ACTION (one action, move one path, then one action); after your last action return to the Farmhouse and may trigger an End of Turn Effect (pages 10–11).

### Do my crops ever wither — do I have to water them every day, and what do crows do?

Crops do not wither; spending the Farm action to water moves all planted crops one space right toward harvest, and if a Crow icon appears on a Season Card you must discard one crop in a matching-colored field (page 13).

### How do Community Center bundles get revealed and completed — and what happens if I replace a bundle that already has donations?

To reveal a Bundle you discard Heart tokens equal to the number of players and either turn the leftmost facedown card faceup or replace a revealed card with another for that room; if you replace a Bundle any donated resources/progress on it are lost (pages 8 & 15). To complete a Bundle you donate the required resources (number of donations = number of players) and then remove the card to restore the room (page 15).

### How does the Mine map and dice work — how do the two dice determine what I get and when do I go down a level?

Roll two Stardew Dice and assign one die to pick a row and the other to pick a column on the Map Card, then resolve the grid space where they meet (stones, ore, geodes, items, monsters, staircases, etc.); a Staircase result (or spending Stones as an End of Turn Effect equal to number of players) descends and reveals the next Mine Level Card (page 17).

### How does fishing work — how do I use the dice to catch fish, and what's different about Legendary Fish and Crab Pot fish?

When you take a Fishing action you roll all three Stardew Dice and spend the symbols to meet a fish’s catch requirements on the Fish Track (each die can only be used once and you can catch more than one fish if requirements are met); Legendary Fish are caught normally but are never discarded by Fish Track movement (they return to the bag if pushed off), and Crab Pot fish are taken by discarding Bug Meat instead of using dice (pages 18–19).
