FAQ / Errata

Spreading the Faith - How is this resolved if there are no Faithful action cards remaining, or no eligible Court card to attach them to?

This card should be errataed to have its effects reversed. First, you must attach a Faithful card to a card in the court which meets all of the requirements (you cannot ignore any requirements as this is not a Forced attach). Then, if and only if a Faithful card was attached, you will scrap an action card from the deck. If an action card could not be scrapped, just skip that part of the effect, but the attachment remains.

Plot to Kidnap - Must I reveal the card taken? What if there is no Faithful action card?

You are not required to show any of the cards, including the card you took. Other players can't know for sure that you took the correct card, so this is on the honor system. Note that the Faithful action cards have a different back, so it will be clear whether there is a Faithful action and whether you took one or not, but you don't have to prove it was the highest.

If there is no Faithful action card, do not take any card. This is still discarded.
