Frequently Asked Questions

Effect Rules

• If an effect happens after a particular step of the Invader Phase (e.g., "after the Build Step") and there are multiple Invader cards in the corresponding space, does it happen after resolving each card?
  No, resolve the triggered action(s) after the entire step is over, once you've finished resolving every card in that step. If the triggered action references the corresponding cards, it refers to all of those cards.

  So, for example, when up against Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Level 1+ and have both a "Jungles" card and a "Mountains+Wetlands" card in the Build Space, then (in order):

  • The Invaders build in Jungles;
  • The Invaders build in Mountains and Wetlands;
  • "Migratory Herders" triggers, gathering Towns from Sands into each Jungle, Mountain, and Wetland.

Power Cards

• If an Adversary/Event/Scenario Action causes an Invader Action, does "Pour Time Sideways" double both the the original Action and then twice double the Invader Action?
  No, "Pour Time Sideways" doesn't double anything that's already doubled.

  For example, if time is poured onto a board twice, then "On each board: Choose a land with Cities. Build there." (the "Provincial Seat" Event) makes players choose a land on that board three times, but only Builds once in each chosen land for a total for three Build Actions on that board (rather than causing nine Build Actions by choosing three times and Building three times per choice).

  Formally, when "Pour Time Sideways" changes how many times an action happens, it doesn’t apply to any secondary (triggered/nested) actions caused, directly or indirectly by that action (i.e., any descendant in the action tree).
