## Rules questions

### How many magic stones can I hold—do I lose extras if I get more?

You can hold a maximum of 4 magic stones; any excess are discarded immediately (stones are public information). (page 5)

### How many cards are revealed in the Hunting phase and how does the draft order work?

Reveal 2 × number of players by family, then players draft clockwise and back counterclockwise through the revealed cards; you may not take an already-occupied card and the pile is reshuffled when empty. (page 6)

### Is there a limit to how many summons I can have on the board?

You can only summon into an area that isn’t full, and the number of available areas is tied to the current round (so board capacity grows with the round); if an area is full you cannot summon there. (pages 5, 8-9)

### When I use the Tame action, do I get my hunting marker back and what exactly do I take?

Tame reclaims your hunting marker and lets you take the matching revealed card from the hunt display. (page 8)

### If I Sell a card, do I get my hunting marker back and how many family stones do I receive?

Selling returns your hunting marker, you discard the sold card, and you gain family magic stones as specified—subject to the 4-stone maximum. (pages 7, 5)

### Do Active area effects trigger multiple times during resolution or only once?

Each area's Active effect is activated once during resolution (you choose the order in which areas resolve), then proceed to round-end checks. (page 10)
