## Rules questions

### On my turn can I move my Ship and then play more than one Action card?

You may travel (move your Ship 1–4 spaces) and then play one Action card to perform its action; once you resolve that action the next player takes their turn, and you may take further turns later in the Action Phase until you pass. (pages 8–9)

### If I play an Action card face-down, can I perform both main actions pointed to by the soldiers' spears?

No — a face-down Action card lets you perform only one of the main actions indicated by the spears on the back of the card. (page 8)

### Can my Specialist change paths or can more than one Specialist reach the City on the same path?

A Specialist may never change path; you can have multiple Specialists on the same path or space (except City Workplaces), but only one Specialist from a given path may reach that path's City Workplace. (page 10)

### When is an Edict issued and what do I do when one is issued?

An Edict is issued when you take an action on any edict-marked space (examples: certain Castle Builds, placing an Ally, or a Workplace with an Edict); you choose one face-up Active Edict, take its reward, then activate each icon by adding/removing the indicated items to/from Frederick's Palace and finally replace the resolved Edict tile. (page 11)

### If an Edict adds Structures to Frederick's Castle, do those Structures have to be connected to existing ones?

No — when adding Structures to Frederick's Castle via an Edict, the new Structures do not have to be connected to existing ones. (page 11)

### When do I receive the income from a closed side of my Castle?

When you complete (close) a side by connecting two Towers with a Wall you immediately gain that side's bonus, and that same income is granted again during each subsequent End Phase. (pages 12 and 15)
