| Q: Can you change the resource you have chosen for the “King’s Blessing” or do you have to stick with the choice you made when you earned the card? | |||
| A:You must choose one type of resource as soon as you get the King's Blessing. You must keep the same resource for as long as you keep the Blessing Card. You don't get to change it. Of course, if you lose the card, and then get it back again, you would be able to chose any of the five resources again. | |||
| Q: When I play Caleb’s Blessing, do I get to keep guessing if my target player doesn’t have the first type of resource card I ask for? | |||
| A: When you play Caleb's Blessing, you get to demand one card of your choice from each of the other players. You name the card you want. If they have that resource, they must give it to you. Otherwise, you are out of luck with that player, though you can still demand resources from the other players. | |||
| Q: If you roll a “7,” you must move the plague pawn, steal a card, and players with more than 7 cards must discard half of them. But, can you then continue the rest of your turn normally, or does your turn end at that point? | |||
| A: After you move the plague pawn when you roll a seven, you may then proceed to trade and build, just like normal. You don't lose the rest of your turn just because you rolled a "7". | |||
| Q: If the plague is moved next to my settlement, but I don’t have any resources to steal, do I “owe” the other player, and have to pay them back later? | |||
| A: If you have no resources when the plague comes along, you don't have to pay. You do not "owe" the plague later. | |||
| Q: When a “Priest” card is played, do you add a black stone to Jerusalem? Do players have to discard half their hand like when a “7” is rolled? | |||
| A: The priest card only moves the plague pawn, and allows you to steal a card from another player, using the same rules you use when a "7" is rolled. The other effects of a "7" do not occur (discarding half your cards and placing a black stone). | |||
| Q: If I roll a “7,” can I still play a “Priest” card and move the plague a second time? Do I get to steal a second card? | |||
| A: Yes. Rolling the dice and playing your card are separate actions. They do not affect each other. So, you could move the plague twice and steal two cards in the same turn. | |||
| Q: If it’s my turn, and I roll a “7” and the black block finishes Jerusalem, do I get to finish my turn, or does the game end immediately? | A: The game ends the moment the last temple stone is placed. You would not get your last turn, I'm afraid. |
