How do I take my turn?

Asked with: Splendor Duelbg-364073-en-1e

On your turn, you perform actions in the following order:
1. Perform none, one, or both of the optional actions:[1]
* Use a Privilege: Return 1 or more Privileges to their place above the board; for each Privilege returned, take 1 Gem or Pearl token of your choice from the board (this cannot be used to take a Gold token).[1] Alternatively, you can spend 1 Privilege to take 1 non-Gold token.[2]
* Replenish the Game Board: If you cannot perform any mandatory actions, you must perform this optional action before choosing your mandatory action.[1] You take up to 3 adjacent Gem and/or Pearl tokens from the board in an uninterrupted horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.[1] This action cannot be used to take a Gold token.[1] If you take 3 tokens of the same color or 2 Pearls, your opponent takes 1 Privilege.[1]
2. Perform one mandatory action:[1]
* Take up to 3 tokens: Take up to 3 adjacent non-Gold tokens in an uninterrupted row, column, or diagonal.[1][2]
* Take 1 Gold token and reserve 1 Jewel card: Take 1 Gold token of your choice from the board, then either take 1 Jewel card of your choice from the pyramid or draw the top card from one of the 3 decks.[3] You cannot perform this if there are no Gold tokens on the board or if you already have 3 reserved cards.[2][4][3]
* Purchase 1 Jewel card: Pay the cost (minus any acquired bonuses) for a card from the pyramid or a reserved card and place it faceup in front of you.[2][3]
3. Resolve any new card abilities: If the card you just purchased has an ability, resolve that effect now.[2][5]
4. End your turn:
* Count your tokens; if you have more than 10, you must discard down to 10 and return the excess to the bag.[4][5]
* Check if you have fulfilled any of the three victory conditions (20 Prestige points, 10 Crowns, or 10 Prestige points on cards of the same color); if so, the game ends and you win.[1][5] If not, your opponent's turn begins.[5]

what this block IS: the PASSAGE SEARCH's own results — the same search that fills this page's closest-passages list — and NOT the passages the answerer read. Answering runs its OWN retrieval: a far wider candidate pool, re-ranked down to a final handful, plus floors this search never applies — the base rulebook, surviving errata corrections, and one slot per book on a multi-book read. Each of those armed only if THIS ask sent what it needs: the boost block names the ids it forwarded, and the scope line names the books it read. A document the answer CITES that no row here names is therefore EXPECTED, not a defect: two searches, two candidate pools, two orders. The answerer's own final rows are shown in their own block below, beside these and never mixed into them.

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.

what this block IS: the passages the ANSWERING read put in front of the answerer, in the order it read them — the other half of the two reads described above, and the one that decides what the answer could possibly say. Each row names the book it came from and where in that book it sits, what it scored when the search arms were fused, which arm carried it there, and whether the re-ranker chose it or a floor guaranteed it a slot. A row here that no passage-search row names is EXPECTED: a far wider pool, re-ranked, with floors the passage search never applies.

candidate pool: the answering read scored 8 passages, out of a ceiling of 80 set gateway-side. Both figures are reported by the gateway for THIS ask — measurements of what actually happened, not constants read out of anyone's source and printed here on faith.

floors armed for this ask: the base rulebook — armed · surviving errata corrections — not armed · one slot per book on a multi-book read — not armed. Every floor is stated on every ask, armed or not, so a floor that did not apply here is never mistaken for one this app does not know about.

arms fused for this ask: vector + full-text + the doc-priority boost arm. Stated separately from the rows because an arm that ran and carried nothing is a different fact from an arm that never ran.

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.

NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 292), 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.
