How do I take my turn?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Firenzebg-75449-en-1e

Each player takes a turn in clockwise order.[1] A turn consists of the following phases in order:
1. Choose a card (mandatory): You must choose exactly 1 of the 6 face-up Action Cards in the Card Row.[2] You must pay the Card Costs by withdrawing the corresponding number of Bricks from your Storehouse and placing one Brick on each Card Row card to the left of your chosen card.[2] You must pay these costs before you can take the Card and the Bricks.[2] Once paid, take the chosen Card along with the Bricks on top of it off the Game Board and place the Bricks in your Storehouse.[1] Depending on the card's symbol, you must play Event Cards immediately, put Personnel Cards into your hand, put Celebration Cards into your hand, put Building Cards in front of you face up, or place Church Cards on the Church Spaces face up.[1] After taking the card, move all cards to its right one place to the left, turn over the top card of the Deck to the rightmost field, and take 4 Bricks from the Pouch to place on the new card (or all remaining Bricks if the Pouch has fewer than 4).[1]
2. Exchange Bricks (optional): You may swap 1 Brick of your choice from a card in the Card Row for 3 Bricks from your Storehouse.[3] You may conduct at most one such exchange per turn.[3]
3. Build Towers (optional): You can use the Bricks in your Storehouse to build or expand Towers on your Construction Site.[3] You may build as many Towers as you like at one time, and you may add on at most 6 Bricks per turn.[3] You may use 2 Bricks per turn for free; any additional Bricks used must be paid as Construction Costs by moving the appropriate number of Bricks from your Storehouse to the Pouch.[3]
4. Tear down abandoned construction (mandatory): Any Towers on your Construction Site that were under construction at the beginning of your turn but were not worked on are considered abandoned and must be torn down.[4] You must place half of such towers' Bricks into the Pouch (rounding odd numbers up) and the remainder in your Storehouse.[4]
5. Fulfill Commissions (optional): [2]
6. Check Limits (mandatory): At the end of the turn, you must check the Storehouse Limit and the Card Limit.[5] If you have more than 10 Bricks in your Storehouse, you must surrender enough Bricks to the Pouch to bring your total to 10.[5] If you have more than 5 Action Cards (including Personnel, Celebration, and Building cards in play), you must discard enough Personnel and Building Cards into the discard pile until you have only 5 cards left.[5]

retrieval — what the passage search returned

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 the answerer read — the passages it actually had in front of it

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 14 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.

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 1079), 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.
