Rules Q&A
- Q: If I have Seaside Bazaar out, does that increase the gold production of Simple Merchants by 1 or 2? Basically, does it count the number of holdings that have any of those keywords, or does it count the number of keywords?
A: 1.
Simple Merchants counts cards, not keywords. Alex Jones, "Simple Merchants + Seaside Bazaar", 7 Jun 2011 - Q: I have a question about the gold production of this card. When it refers to producing 4 gold plus 1 gold for each additional farm, mine and port, does that mean it has a cap of 7 gold it can produce or can it be higher? ie if i control this card plus 2 ports 2 mines 2 farms, does it produce 10 gold?
A: You count the cards with those keywords, not the number of different keywords on your cards. No cap. Zen Faulkes, "Simple Merchants", 29 May 2011
