Harmonies: Crescendo

Yes. Taking one is an optional extra action, but Sanctuary tiles count with your cards toward the limit of 4 above your board. If you take one of the two tiles beside the pile, refill that space at the end of your turn if possible (p. 5).

No. It lets you create only the one specific stack shown on that tile; it doesn’t allow another such stack elsewhere. There’s no penalty for leaving the Sanctuary unfinished (pp. 5, 7).

When exactly one cube remains on an Animal card, you may place it on a completed Sanctuary if its color matches either of that Sanctuary’s two colors. A Sanctuary can hold any number of these cubes (p. 6).

A completed Sanctuary scores 3 points for each adjacent space whose top token matches either of its two colors. Count only the top token in each adjacent space (p. 7).

No. Trees and Fields occupying spaces that are dry at the end of the game score 0; a dry space becomes ordinary when it is adjacent to Water. A Field scores 6 only if it has at least 2 contiguous yellow tokens and at least one occupies an ordinary space (p. 9).

Yes, a Whisper cube can share a space with an Animal or Nature’s Spirit cube. A lone Whisper cube scores 2 points, while a Whisper cube sharing with either of those cubes scores 5 (pp. 11–12).
