## Rules questions

### Can I retrieve the worker I just placed on this turn?

No — you cannot retrieve the worker you placed this turn; retrieval restrictions prohibit taking back the same worker on the same turn (see pages 16–17).

### Can I chain a die movement by wrapping around the caravan grid or stacking moves?

No — dice manipulation is limited to chaining along allowed adjacent spaces only; you may not wrap around the grid or stack movements beyond the chain rules (see page 14).

### If I buy a Land/Water/Townsfolk card from the faceup row, can I use it immediately?

No — when you acquire a card you follow the draw-and-slide refill, return workers as required, and you may not use that newly acquired card on the same turn (see page 11; Townsfolk timing on page 10).

### Do I have to pay ink-splotches to advance on the Journal Track, and what about the final space?

Yes — Journal Track movement must meet any ink-splotch requirements shown to advance and claim Journal tiles, and the final-space has special rules described in the Journal section (see page 7).

### Can I spend Influence tokens to meet asset requirements when placing a die?

Yes — Influence tokens can be spent to pay asset fees or meet placement requirements during die placement as allowed by the rules (see pages 6 and 13).

### What does the Rest action do — do I refresh dice and get the Journal die?

Rest retrieves workers and refreshes your dice; when you refresh dice you follow the die-refresh rules, including the mandatory Journal die gain described for die refreshes (see pages 13 and 15; general Rest summary on page 18).
