## Rules questions

### On my turn, do I use two cards for their numbers and effects, or one for each?

Draw three construction cards, then use two: one for its number and the other for its effect. Discard those two and set the third aside, effect side up, for the AAA (p. 1).

### What happens if I can’t play a card?

Cross off a permit refusal, but still place one card in the AAA’s pile (p. 1).

### What do I do when I draw a Completed Plan card?

Discard it and draw a replacement construction card. At the end of the turn, check the plan number on the Completed Plan card against the AAA architect card to see whether the AAA scores that plan (p. 1).

### When do I reshuffle the discard pile into the deck?

When the first city plan is validated—by you or the AAA—you must reshuffle your discard pile together with the remaining construction deck (p. 1).

### How do I score the AAA’s housing estates?

Each section between two fences is an estate, and the stack’s beginning and end also count as fences. Each card in an estate is 1 house, while a Bis card is worth 1–4 houses; multiply the house count by the estate’s house value, as determined by Real Estate Agent cards and the architect (p. 2).

### Does the AAA get penalties for Bis cards or permit refusals?

No. The AAA receives no penalty for Bis cards and no permit refusals (p. 2).
