Oh, I was not aware. Let me have another look.

Really fun game @Benkyo thank you.

It was a good game. Congrats to the empire. (I see it all went down while I was asleep)

When better to strike? :wink:

We really need to name the Chronicles or we shall conjure something unnamed from the depths of the deck and it will be all our downfall.

You can see that the top card in the world deck happens to be a vision, so a world deck search will draw that vision and nothing else. Are you sure that’s what you want to do?

There is just one non-vision card in the Cradle discard, which you know was dealt randomly at setup and is not actually someone else’s rejected card.

Oh, true, did not spot that…

I will draw from Cradle instead, thanks Benkyo

Can I assume you play the searched card as a face-down adviser?

If you use the elders, you no longer have any favor to muster with.

(But you can get some with spirit snare)

Oops, true. No mustering then. I will update the original post. I thought I was revealing an adviser, but I have edited that as well. Gosh, not enough favour to start with. I have to use some patience.

You can use spirit snare, or trade. Also no harm in using Scryer.

I rather get secrets for now… but thanks

You get secrets back at the end of your turn unless the cost is “burn” a secret, so ideally you use all secrets every turn.

I’d rather not be messing around with turns so early in the game. You can pass it on.

I appreciate the sentiment, but you intended to muster and are just one favor short because of a miscount due to not having the pieces in front of you. You could easily fix that by using Spirit Snare, but had a rule misunderstanding that secrets get “used up”. You can simply take one favor from Nomad, do the muster on Tents you originally intended to do, and Rest as intended. End the turn with 5 warbands instead of 3, and everything else is exactly the same.

Please let me know if that’s OK, or if you really don’t want to do that.

(Also note that I rarely actually do anything to the game state until I need to post an update - we are still at the point where you have a card in your hand, and I can’t post an update for the next ~3 hours.)

If everybody else is OK with it, I will do that, thanks Benkyo.

No issues here.

Go for it, I’m going to mess up some rules

Please go for it. I never mind.

@chewy77 Full disclosure: not +2 warbands and otherwise exactly the same, as I just learned that the muster puts you into the next bracket for supply refresh, meaning you have one less supply after rest than you would have if you didn’t muster. But if you didn’t muster you would have wasted a supply, so eh.

Just to confirm: the top card of the world deck you can see is a vision, so you know that would be the only card you draw.

The trade of 2 favor would get you 0 secrets unless you have a matching advisor.

As a citizen though, you could use the elders for 0 supply, and then the spirit snare, and then maybe muster, for example.
