Rules Q&A
- Q: My opponent resolved the Event Festival of the River of Stars. He choose "River" as the word.
If the following cards - Black Finger River (Region) - Pulse of the Black River (Event) are revealed in my Provinces, what Gold cost have them?
A) 2 Gold cost B) no Gold cost, because the Region and Events hasn't a specified Gold cost, then Festival of the River of Stars couldn't increased it by two.
A: The answer would be "B." Festival of the River of Stars tries to increase their Gold Cost, which is an unlisted value, and fails to do so. Martin Lund, "Rules for 13 October 2004", 19 Oct 2004
