FAQ / Errata

Political Intrigue - In a two player game, does the Crisis affect cause the players to give two favors to each other if a moon is rolled?

Yes. The opponent player is both to your left and to your right.

Commonwealth Ambition - Does the Commonwealth Ambition token ever get moved after it is placed on an ambition?

At any time, if the Commonwealth Ambition token is not accompanied by at least one Ambition Token, return it to Founder of the Commonwealth's Fate card. Also do this during Act III setup.

Commonwealth Ambition - Does the Commonwealth Ambition token count as an Ambition token for the purpose of other effects?

No, despite its name, the Commonwealth Ambition token is not an Ambition token and is only altered by effects that specifically refer to it.

Commonwealth Membership - Are Members allowed to treat Free buildings as Loyal when resolving effects such as planting Hegemon banners?

No, the list of privileges on the card should be considered the whole of what you can do. Free buildings are only considered loyal for the purpose of Tax, Build, and Repair actions.
