Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, “Gold Mine Mine Bow this card: Produce 2 Gold, or 3 Gold if you are a Dragon Clan player.” [MRP, Samurai Edition, 25 July 2007] Comprehensive Rules, Samurai Edition, with specific card rulings, final version, May 2009, p. 137
Rules Q&A
- Q: Two questions: 1) Does the holding targeted by The Blessing need to be in play or can I target one in my province?
2) If I target a variable production holding such as Wandering Caravan or Gold Mine does it increase the contingent production as well?
These seem like obvious questions but I just want to confirm.
A: 1. Unless otherwise stated, cards must be in play to be targeted.
2. The +1GP token applies to all gold production from the Holding. Alex Jones, "The Blessing (event)", 20 Apr 2015
