In the example of the shift, one discarded card is missing, you need 3 instead of 2, as the shift cost of Sati is 3.

It indicates 5 instead of 6 as the value for the second line in the example.

In the glossary, under the « Capture » section, third point:

It is stated that » A player may play a card on above a captured card ». This can be confusing. It would be better to read: « It is always possible to play a card in the row above a captured card. »

The two image examples are reversed.

If it says « you may, » then it’s optional; otherwise, the effect is mandatory, even if it requires, for example, destroying or capturing one of your cards.

For example, with Petal Faeries and no Bounty card in play?
Yes, you can play the card, but there’s no valid target, so the effect won’t take place.

For example, with Petal Faeries and no Bounty card in play?

Yes, you can play the card, but there’s no valid target, so the effect won’t take place.

Yes, only for Phoenix, so +2 in military for each card in hand.

And unfortunately with Goan-Sul, who will have to sacrifice 2 additional cards if they win with less than 10 points ahead.

No, in this case it is the first card of a clan in the line, so the card is free.

When a card resolves its effect—and if that effect consists of multiple parts—all effects are queued in memory and will be carried out (barring the exception below). For instance, if Volantis sacrifices itself, the second part of the effect (the discard) will still occur. This also applies to the Timer/Arpia duo; (see FAQ « Phoenix > Arpia/Timer »). In cases where the first part of an effect involves copying (e.g., Nio), the card’s effect is fully resolved before a new card’s effect begins; thus, Nio copies an adjacent card (queuing the copy in memory), captures that card, and finally applies the copied effect.

There is currently only one exception to this rule: Aat.

– If the copied card is moved, destroyed, or captured while Aat is resolving its effect, the process is immediately interrupted (the second part of the effect does not resolve, and any associated Echo is lost).

We can also use this FAQ to clarify a few points regarding Aat:

– Aat never copies the copied card’s clan; it always belongs to the Tomorrow clan (with one exception—see below).

– If the copied card is « All in One, » you can play Aat for free, even if you have no other Tomorrow clan troops in play.

– Aat can be played even if there is no card to copy. If a card to copy enters play later, Aat will copy its properties but will not resolve any « enters play » effect the card might have.

– If an activation token is placed on Aat and the copied card becomes a Veteran, flip the activation token to double its military value (or quadruple it, in the rare instance where Aat already has two activation tokens).

No, at the moment of playing the shift, the target must be announced. The goal is, of course, to not give the already strong secret shift an additional advantage with an economy of one card on shift.

Yes, there is no problem in this case.

In some cases, the simultaneous effect of a card can be important depending on the order of resolution, for example with Cylak.

In case of simultaneity, it is the active player (the player playing the card) who chooses the order of resolution. They therefore choose which player (or effect) will resolve their effect first.

It is a card above, below, to the right, or to the left of it. Not in the diagonals!

Some cards in the game allow you to swap 2 cards in a player’s army (Goan-Sul) or only at your own army (Galmi). These 2 cards don’t have to be necessarily adjacent, they can be any 2 cards in the line. This allows you to place an opponent’s card in a FREE column in order to destroy it, or to put it back on the deck with Galmi on the next turn, very useful against a well-hidden big level 3 card.

Clarification on this wording that raises many questions. If this ability was only supposed to apply when the card was played on the board, then it would, by definition, never work.

Therefore, this ability works as soon as the card interacts with your turn’s action, for example, it is played, it is revealed, it is discarded, etc. and of course, any interaction when it is already on the board. This allows Phoenix (Immortal) to be placed at the level of your choice or for Shennong and All in One to be discarded to complete Xi’An’s BHJ mission.

Other examples:
Bun To always retrieves Phoenix (Immortal) if it is revealed by his effect.
Nakshara can always retrieve Phoenix (Immortal) from the discard pile.
3 Wishes automatically retrieves the Xi’An/Shennong/All In One cards revealed during its effect.

It is the number of unlocked activation tokens in the game. So at the beginning of the game, X is equal to 2, but if you unlock a third activation token, then X becomes 3. Note that this only refers to unlocked activation tokens and not unused ones, whether they are in your hand or on the board, it does not change the value of X.

The card is immediately released!

When a card is captured while it has an Activation, Prime, or Kuma token on it, the token is immediately discarded.

Note, this is not the case with the Ethereal token,
(see FAQ « Tokens > Captured card + ethereal token »).

When a card with an activation token is Shifted, place the activation token in the spent tokens zone of the board, just like when a card is destroyed or captured.

NO, that’s copying an effect (white text).

Tip: it’s possible to choose an effect to copy from any discard pile.

– This card’s « Force of Will » ability can be used even after passing.

– You can prevent the capture or destruction of a unit that you yourself initiated during your turn (for example, with Nio, Alpha (Dead), Cylak, etc.).

No, the yellow text on Galmi triggers an effect when the player passes, once this effect is triggered it continues for the next 2 turns of the opponent.

No, the rule requires that you no longer have any activation tokens to pass. However, Galmi’s power allows you to skip a turn earlier because it is a « free » action during this turn. In the end, your opponent loses two turns – one by passing immediately and one by playing only 2 turns instead of 3.

She Rift allows you to place or move the Bounty token on a card. As a result, that card becomes Bounty, which means you will draw a card if you destroy or capture it. But that’s not necessarily the main benefit. While it does allow Galmi (Avatar) to have a military power of 6, it’s particularly useful in combination with Hemro (Goan Sul clan) to draw 2 cards if there are no valid targets, and especially with the Petal Faeries (Justice clan) because it allows you to easily capture a level 3 card while drawing a card.

– If this card is copied, it is the original Alpha (Dead) that is captured, not the copy.

– Alpha (Dead) is considered to have the same name as Alpha (Goan Sul Clan).

If the Bombing unit is OPEN, it can be sacrificed by its effect. If the Bombing unit is sacrificed during the first part of its effect, then it will be impossible to resolve the second part of the effect.

If the bombardment unit is played with Echo, it can force players to sacrifice up to 4 cards provided that it does not sacrifice itself before the 4th resolution.

As a reminder, the keyword « ethereal » does not protect against sacrifice.

No, the additional sacrifice only applies if you win the battle with less than a 10-point lead.

If Xi’An is in play or their Immortal tile is active, affected players remove ALL their Level III cards from their discard pile, regardless of the chosen clan.

Yes, provided that you choose the name of a card from your hand.

Tip: If you choose The Red Ring and since the effect of Arrows of Justice lasts until the end of your next turn, then during your next turn, your opponent will not be able to discard The Red Ring to cancel the capture or destruction of one of their cards.

When Justice enters play, you flip over one of your 3 immortal tiles to the other side (the one with a permanent effect). The effect now applies only to you, except for the Narashima tile, which clearly states « players » and therefore applies to both players.

No, he will have to sacrifice 5 cards, one by one, and always a FREE card each time. As in the phase of the Song for the Dead.

YES.

The first effect of Timer will be « stored in memory » (take an extra turn after this one) until the end of the turn, but you draw the card immediately, not on the next turn.

You cannot play an extra turn during an extra turn, so you will only play one extra turn, but you will draw 2 cards immediately.

Answer 2 ! You need the 3 cards named Phoenix !

YES, unlike Orgah.

Reminder: Only the player who plays Genious draws 2 cards.

Only the player who plays the card!

Here’s a card that raises a lot of questions, here are the different rules points concerning Phoenix (Immortal): Phoenix (Immortal) can be played in any row, and its military value is then equal to 2, 3, or 5 depending on whether it’s in row 1, 2, or 3.

However, even when in play, it is always considered a level 1, 2, and 3, which means that cards that can affect a level 1, 2, or 3 can affect it, luckily it is ethereal.

But for example, no matter which row it is in, if it is OPEN, Bun To can always move Phoenix (Immortal) to the top of your deck. Phoenix (Immortal) can only be shifted by a card of the same level as the row in which it is located.

YES, exactly.

NO, you need a PHOENIX unit in the first row and a PHOENIX hero in the second row.

– Aat never copies the copied card’s clan; it always belongs to the Tomorrow clan (with one exception—see below).

– If the copied card is « All in One, » you can play Aat for free, even if you have no other Tomorrow clan troops in play.

– Aat can be played even if there is no card to copy. If a card to copy enters play later, Aat will copy its properties but will not resolve any « enters play » effect the card might have.

– If an activation token is placed on Aat and the copied card becomes a Veteran, flip the activation token to double its military value (or quadruple it, in the rare instance where Aat already has two activation tokens).

YES, unless the discard pile is empty.

Tip: Alpha and Alpha (dead) are considered to have the same name, as well as the 3 Phoenix, BHJ, Galmi, and Galmi (Avatar), Narashima and Narashima (Lion), and all level 1 cards that come in duplicate.

There is an error on the ‘Ne’ye’ card in the English version (1st print) of Gosu X.

It should read, ‘When a player removes Ne’ye from the game from your discard pile, they draw a card.’. This effect only works when Ne’ye is removed from the discard pile.

There is an error on the ‘Wiindz’ card in the English version (1st print) of Gosu X.

It should read ‘Release a card in this row or column’ instead of ‘Release all the cards in this row or column’, the card retains its ECHO effect.

Update on the ruling for Byun Hyung Ja of Xi’an, and in anticipation of upcoming expansions, it is now possible to trigger its effect only once at the end of one’s turn, even if one has ten cards of the same clan in hand.

NO, never.

You cannot attempt a Shadowstep if your deck is empty.
