Rules Q&A

• Q: A card with the Singular keyword can not enter play or become controlled by a player if that player already controls a Singular card with the same title.
  A: The your opponent is bringing the Region into play legally. Redrawing the Maps causes the Region to attach to your Province instead of his. Redrawing the Maps (and the rulebook) attempt to give you control of the Region that just attached to your Province, but are thwarted by Singular. Since you can't control the Region, the player who brought the Region into play (your opponent) controls it.
  If the Singular Rule ever stops applying (the other Singular copy of the card is destroyed or discarded), then the general rule that Regions are controlled by the owner of the Province they are attached to can reassert itself. Martin Lund, "Redrawing the Maps part 2", 13 Dec 2007
• Q: What happens if, sometime after Redrawing the Maps has resolved for me, my opponent flips up a Singular Region which I already have in play?
  A: It attaches to your Province, but you do not control it. Zen Faulkes, "Redrawing the Maps", 28 Aug 2007
