Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How do I explore an ice space on North Proylia?
An explore action can cover one ice space using 2 terrain of any type, or 1 “any space” action; an “explore any adjacent 2 spaces” action can cover two adjacent ice spaces. You cannot discover villages on ice spaces (p. 2).
Can I discover a village on an ice space?
No. Ice spaces are passable with the required exploration action, but you cannot discover villages on them (p. 2).
What counts as a “land” on Xawskil?
A land is an area of terrain spaces isolated from other terrain by sea, the map border, or both (p. 2).
Do I get another island token if I explore the same Xawskil land again?
No. Place a token the first time you put an explorer on a land; exploring that land again does not earn another token (p. 2).
Does the capital count as a village when completing a goal?
No. The capital space is not treated as a village for any goals (p. 2).
When does the North Proylia ice trade-route goal count, and can my route double back?
You must trace a line between the two trading posts without backtracking, and you complete the goal only on the turn when you complete that trade route (p. 2).
