Rules Q&A
- Q: If Desertion is in play, and I turn up a region in a province that already has a region, I can leave it there and return it to my Dynasty deck at the end of my turn?
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 22 April 2003", 23 Apr 2003 - Q: If Desertion is in play, and I have used one of many methods of turning some of his cards face up, his cards stay there at the end of my turn. (They only go back at the end of your own turn.)
A: Yes. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 22 April 2003", 23 Apr 2003 - Q: I am playing Khol Wall, and Desertion has resolved. After my events phase, I turn over the cards that refilled my regioned provinces. One province has a third region. Do I have to immediately discard the region, or can I leave it and have the event recycle it?
A: It can wait. Discarding is only mandatory in the Events phase. Zen Faulkes, "Surplus regions and Desertion", 11 Apr 2005
