Q: 군사령관이 대학이나 드래곤 항구를 부수는 금액은 어떻게 되나요? A: 모든 건물의 파괴비용은 짓는 비용 - 1입니다. 그러므로 금화 5개가 되겠네요.

Q: 군사령관은 암살당한 주교의 건물을 부술 수 있나요? A: 왜 안되겠습니까. 주교는 호출에 응답하지 않을 것이기 때문에(죽었으므로), 그는 더이상 주교가 아닙니다.

Q: 캐릭터의 특수 능력은 강제적으로 해야하나요? A: 아닙니다. 암살자는 죽이지 않아도 되고, 도둑은 훔치지 않아도 됩니다.

Q: 플레이어가 건물짓기 전과 후 양쪽 단계에 걸쳐서 두번 자신의 건물들에 대한 수입을 가질 수 있나요? A: 안됩니다. You can take these revenues when you want, but all at once. So, a player can either take the incomes of his districts before constructing new districts (if he has need of money in order to construct), or after having constructed (if the new district give him income). On the other hand, district income is completely distinct from the two golds you can get at the beginning of your turn, instead of drawing a card.The merchant extra gold piece is not a district income and is also taken at the beginning of the turn So you can take two golds, build, and then get income from your districts, but you can't get income from some districts, build, and then get income from the district you've just built..

Q: 플레이어가 건물을 8개 이상 지을 수 있나요? (예를 들자면, 건축가를 골랐고 손에 든 건물카드들은 모두 적은 금화카드들 뿐인 상태에서 이기기위해서는 더 많은 포인트가 필요할 경우) A: 안될 이유가 없죠. 당연히 됩니다.

Q: 2개 이상의 동일한(같은 이름이나 그림을 가진) 건물을 지을 수 있을까요? A: 독일판에서는 일단 안됩니다. 다른 사람의 도시에 이미 존재하는 건물을 짓는 것을 상관없지만, 내 도시안에서 같은 건물이 존재하는 것은 불가합니다. 하지만 이 규칙이 영문판에서는 실수로 빠져있었는데 게임이 나온지 4달후에야 알게 되었으므로 그렇게 중요한 규칙은 아니라고 생각합니다. 단지 마술사가 더 강력해지기를 원한다면 이 규칙을 무시하는 것도 좋습니다.

Q: 연구소는 손에 들고 있는 카드 한장을 1개의 금화로 거래할 수 있도록 만드는 건물이죠? 영어 카드는 "차례당 1번..."으로 적혀있는데, 독일 카드에는 손에 있는 한장의 카드를 금화 하나와 거래할 수 있다"라고 적혀있습니다. 조금 모호한데 정확한 것이 어느 것인가요? A: 영어 번역이 맞습니다. 자신의 차례에 단 한번만 카드 1장을 금화 1장으로 교환하는 것이 가능합니다.

Q: 도서관과 관측소를 둘 다 지었다면 어떤 효과가 있나요? 조합한 효과가 있을 것 같은데... A: 이런 상황이라면 건물카드를 집을때 3장을 집고 2장을 가져올 수 있습니다.

Q: The witch text is as follows : "After you take an action, you announce which character you wish to bewitch, then immediately end your turn." I think it's clear that you can not build a district card at this point. "When the player who has the bewitched character is called upon, he shows his character card and takes and action, then immediately ends his turn." I think it's clear that the other player got screwed out of building a district card this turn. The question is - did the other player get to use his special power, e.g., if you copied the Bishop's power, did he get one gold for each blue building? A: No. The bewitched character cannot use his special power, and this special power can be used by the Witch player - if the bewitched character is in play.

Q: The Tax Collector tex has : "... If the Assassin or Witch has already built a district card, ...". I can't imagine a situation where the "Witch" has already built a district card when the "Tax Collector" is revealed. Obsolete? A: Yes

Q: What happens to the crown if the emperor is assassinated? A: Nothing. Then player who has the crown keeps it.

Q: When the Emperor gives the crown to someone, the rules say that the person receiving the crown must give the Emperor one gold or one card. Who makes this choice: the person receiving the crown or the Emperor? A: The person receiving the crown.

Q: Can you have two identical districts in your city through use of the Diplomat? A: No.

Q: Can the diplomat change one of his district for a district of a complete 8 districts city? A: No.

Q: How to play with both the Queen and the Emperor ? A: Now that's a good question ! I didn't think about it before. I'd suggest not to play with those two characters in the same game. If you really want to, you can link the Queen to the crown: if the queen is beside the player with the crown, she earns three gold pieces.

Q: How do the new character affect game length ? A: Using the Navigator or the Tax Collector instead of the Architect or the Thief can make the game somewhat longer. On the other hand, using the Diplomat or the Witch instead of the Condottiere or the Assassin makes it a bit shorter.

Q: 불어판, 독일판, 미국판사이에 차이점이 있나요? A: I don't read german and dutch, so I can't tell exactly what has been changed in the rules. The rules have been reorganized but, as far as I know, there are no big changes in the way the game is played. The french rule forbids duplicated districts by the same player. The german rule allows it. In the 2d german edition, the assassinated king becomes nevertheless first player. The german rules have no variant. The second german edition has special rules for two and three players. The rules stating that the special effect of the Ghost City cannot be used if it's build in the last turn of the game was omitted in the german game. The german workshop has "three gold pieces for two cards", when the french one has "three gold pieces for three cards". There is one more Palace card in the german game. I don't know why, but it doesn't change anything to the game. The french box looks much nicer, but the components are a bit nicer in the german one, with beautiful tokens for gold pieces and a little plastic stand for the crown card. The US version has less elegant components - the box is too big and has no card tray, the cardstock is OK but not as good as in the german game, the gold coins are cardboard and not plastic. However, since it was designed later, it also has a few extra features, mainly 10 new characters and 1 new building. You can read more about this version of the game there.

Q: 가장 최근에 게임을 했었을 때, 플레이어 중 한명이 게임 내내 왕관을 가지고 있었습니다. 한 플레이어에서 다른 플레이어로 왕관을 이동시켜주는 규칙은 없나요? A: We've noticed this while playtesting the game. A player can keep the crown as long as he wants with taking either the king, either the assassin to kill the king. It's possible, and beginners often try this strategy, which can make the game a little boring. However, it's not necessary to make a specific rule to prevent this, since you will soon find out that it's not a winning strategy. The player playing this way is bound to chose always between the same two characters, when other ones could often be more interesting. Furthermore, the assassin brings no specific bonus to its owner. There's no use in chosing first only in order to chose first on next turn, and so on. This strategy benefits only the player on the left of the king, who has a great choice of characters and no restriction. However, if you still think this is a problem, you can use one of the variants above, which were designed to solve it. I don't use them myself, and think they make the game a bit more dynamic, but also less interesting.

Q: 3인용 게임을 해봤는데, 그리 흥미진진하지 않더군요. A: 이 게임은 처음에는 4~6인용으로 개발되었습니다. 나중에, 나는 한명정도 더 많거나 적은 경우도 "적응"시키려고 노력했습니다. 7명인 경우는 실제로 잘 적용되었습니다. 그리고 소수의 플레이어의 경우에서도 (조금 게임이 길어졌지만) 그런대로 재미있었습니다. 3명일 때는 정말로 재미없더군요. 기쁘게도, 그리고 나는 3인용이 불가능하다고 생각했음에도 불구하고, 제작사(Hans im Glueck) 팀에서는 새로운 2, 3인용 규칙을 디자인했습니다. 이 규칙들은 독일어 2판부터는 포함되어있습니다. 아마도 위에서 쉽게 얻을 수 있을겁니다.

Q: 가장 최적의 플레이어 수는 몇 명인가요? A: 5명입니다. 이정도의 인원수에서는 서로간의 강한 교류가 충분히 존재하고, 각 라운드마다 취소되는 캐릭터 1 장이 게임의 어느정도 다양성을 부여해줍니다.

Q: 독일판으로 미국판의 확장 캐릭터 카드를 발매할건가요? A: 아마 언젠가는요. 하지만 보증할 수는 없겠는데요.

Q: 확장판은 나올 계획이 있니요? A: 저는 새로운 게임을 만드는 것을 더 좋아합니다.
