How do I take my turn?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Brass: Lancashirebg-28720-en-1e

On your turn, perform the following: 1. Perform a total of 2 actions [1]. (Exception: During the first round of the Canal Era, each player performs only 1 action) [1]. 2. For each action performed, discard a card from your Hand and place it face up on top of your Discard Pile [1]. You may also choose to discard any 2 cards to use both of your actions at the same time, which allows you to build any Industry tile in any location with a space for that industry [2]. 3. Choose one of the following actions (you may perform the same action twice) [3]: * **Build**: Place one of your Industry tiles onto the board, paying the appropriate cost and consuming any required coal/iron [3]. If you build a Coal Mine or Iron Works that meets certain connection criteria, move as many cubes as possible from the tile to its associated Market and collect money [4]. * **Network**: Expand your canal or rail network by adding Link tiles to the board [3]. * **Develop**: Gain access to higher-level industries by removing Industry tiles from your Player Mat [3]. This requires consuming 1 iron for each tile removed [5]. * **Sell**: Flip your built Cotton Mill tiles by selling to the Distant Cotton Market or by flipping a Port tile [3]. * **Loan**: Take a £10/£20/£30 loan from the Bank and move your Income Marker 1/2/3 income levels backwards [3]. This requires discarding any card from your Hand and placing it face up on your Discard Pile [5]. * **Pass**: You may choose to pass instead of performing an action, but you must still discard a card for each action you pass [3]. 4. Any time you spend money to perform an action, you must place it on top of your Character tile on the Turn Order Track [3]. 5. After all actions are completed, refill your Hand back up to 8 cards with cards from the Draw Deck [1].

retrieval — what the search arm returned

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

generation — timing and the path taken

timing split: retrieval 229 ms · first delta 4272 ms · total 7338 ms (retrieval and first-delta both measured from the START of gateway work, so first-delta INCLUDES retrieval — do not subtract)
full breakdown: queued 0 ms · retrieval 229 ms · ask 7100 ms · gateway work 7338 ms · total 7338 ms
tokens in (the prompt the answerer read): 3579
tokens out (what the answerer generated): 439
tok/sec: 146.2 tok/sec — 439 output tokens in 3.003 s of generation
live seat (read from the running child): answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 44s ago)
stream path: streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

outcome: ANSWERED — Answered
abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 19), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
