to me? No, you must take it. |

How much communication is allowed? Are
you allowed to say whatever you want at any time (truthful or not!)?
Are you allowed to make subtle "winks" and "nods"
to try to communicate information? Or, should communication be only
in card play and actions e.g. supporting someone in a struggle? If you adhere strictly to the rules communication should be only in card play and actions. In the end it is your decision. The main thing is that you have fun. But you should define it before starting a match. |

If I win a battle against another player,
may I choose to draw the top card of the draw pile (as you would do
in case of a stand-off), instead of stealing a object or looking at
his occupation/association? No, only in case of a stand-off your may draw a card. And keep in mind, that you may not draw a card, if you turn the tie in a win with the "Poisen Ring". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do I always win if I use the "Poison
Ring" in a struggle or do I win only in stand-off? You only win in the case of a stand-off (and as printed on the card only if you are either the attacker or the defender). |

Does the use of the 'Secret bag' essentially
mean that you end up with two new objects ie. one from the person you
are trading with and one from the draw pile of objects? If you trade the "Secret Bag" you will get one card from your trading partner and one from the draw pile. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to draw a card from the pile if you get the "Broken Mirror" in exchange for the "Secret Bag". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If I offer my "Secret Bag" to
someone who also has a "Secret Bag" is he allowed to trade
with me if he has some other objects? Yes, he can give you one of his other objects in exchange for your "Secret Bag", but he is not allowed to give you his "Secret Bag" in exchange for it. |

Could you explain the object "Black
Pearl" in detail? If I have it, does it prevent just me to proclaim
victory for my team or does it prevent my team from winning as long
as someone from it has the pearl? If you have the "Black Pearl" you are simply not allowed to proclaim the victory. Your team mate can proclaim the victory and if your team has the needed objects (keys or goblets) you will win although you have the pearl. |

I own the "Black Pearl" and
the "The Coat of Armor of the Loge". Am I allowed to proclaim
my sole vistory? No, if you own the "Black Pearl" you may never proclaim the victory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If I use the coat, can I dump my old occupation
first and pick from any of the occupations that are in the pile afterwards? First search the pile for a new occupation, then put it face down in front of you and then put your old one in the pile. It doesn't matter if you put it on top of it or not, because the next player searches the whole pile again. |

Does the "Drink of Power"-card
counts an object? Can it be traded? How to lose it? It does not count as an object, can not be traded and you can not lose it. The "Drink of Power" is in fact a "rulecard" that says that the inferior (outnumbered) team can win with 2 goblets/keys. Notice: You are not allowed to proclaim the victory just with the "Drink of Power". You also need at least one key/goblet to proclaim the victory. |

What does "trade" in the text
of the "Diplomat" mean and do trade-in effects come into effect? You can treat it like a normal trade. So the "Diplomat" must give some card in exchange. Trade-in effects also come into effect in the order of a normal trade: First for the "Diplomat"-Player, second for the other player of the trade. Notice: You may use the privileg of the "Diplomat" additionally to your normal turn. |

The "Hypnotist" can exclude
another player from supporting the struggle. Does this exclude also
the support (character) card, or does this avoid only the use of occupation/objects
from the hypnotized player? If you hypnotize a player he has to remove his character card from the struggle and he is not allowed to play any occupation/object cards if they need a support to be played (like the "Bodyguard" or the "Whip"). |

If I want to proclaim the victory, do
I have to name all players of my association or only the players who
own the objects that are necessary for victory? You only have to name the players who own the 3 objects. You must not name the other players of your association. And keep in mind, that YOU must own at least one of the 3 objects to proclaim the victory. |

I declared the victory as I held one key,
and I named two other members of my association who I think held the
other two keys. One of the two people I named had had his key stolen,
but - luckily - the other person I named was holding two keys. Did we
win? No, you didn't, because you named a member of you association who did not hold a key. |

You have 1 team object (i.e, the key or
goblet depending on your association) and you name 2 other players of
your association (A and B). Player A has 1 team object and Player B
has 2 team objects because the bag is in play as a team object. Do you
win since the players you name each have at least one team object and
you have at least 3 total? Yes, your team wins in this case. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What about if you have 1 team object and
you name Players X, Y, and Z, who each have 1 team object. Do you win?
If not, who is the unnecessary player? Yes, you will win. Normally you will only name two other players because of the risk that one of the three has no object. |

Can I proclaim victory if I have eg. 3
keys, without nominating anyone else in my association? And the same
question if I'm in an inferior association, and have eg. 2 keys and
the Drink of Power? Yes, both cases are possible. |
