Innovation: Figures in the Sand

You draw a Figure instead of a share-bonus card after a Dogma action, and each other player draws one when someone claims a standard achievement using the Achieve action. Other draw effects don’t give you Figures unless they specifically say so (p. 4).

No. An age is considered empty as soon as it has no Base cards, even if expansion cards remain, so skip it and draw from the next-highest non-empty age. If the needed expansion card isn’t available at the appropriate age, draw a Base card of that age instead (p. 4).

A “Each” karma effect is continuous only while that Figure is a top card. “When” effects resolve when the Figure is melded; “Would” effects interrupt the triggering effect, and if multiple Would karmas trigger at once, the current player chooses one (p. 6).

At the end of any action, on any player’s turn, score your excess top Figures until you have only one. You choose which to score; a Figure covered by a card melded on top is no longer a top Figure (p. 8).

You may take an Inspire action only once per turn, and only if you have visible Inspire effects. Choose one color, resolve its effects from the bottom card up, then draw a card matching the value of that color’s top card; Inspire effects are not shared (p. 9).

No. You must have three Figures of different values, then remove your entire hand—including non-Figures—from the game. You may claim or steal a Decree matching a discarded Figure’s color; claiming a Decree does not make other players draw Figures (pp. 10, 15).
