How do I take my turn?
Passages only — retrieval up, answerer down counted as app errorAnswered before
This question didn't get an answer just now — but Wingspan has been asked something like it before. The corpus may have changed since, so check the date and the answerer on each one before you rule from it.
The answerer is down, but retrieval still works — here are the raw passages that match your question. No composed answer, on purpose.
The 2 players that the turnorder dial points to are the active players. They take their turns simultaneously. When both active players have completed their turns, rotate the turn-order dial clockwise. There are now 2 new active players who take their turns. To avoid confusion, be sure to wait for bo
In rounds 2 and 4, everyone has an odd number of turns.

Wingspan is played over 4 rounds. During each round, players take turns-proceeding clockwise-until each player has used all of their available action cubes.

Your pink powers never activate while you are the active player, even though another player is taking a turn at the same time. They reset each time you become an active player. Any active player at the table can trigger your pink power-not just players in your group.

If you activate a power that gives things to 'all players' or 'other players,' it affects all players at the table, including the other active player. However, the other active player is only affected after finishing their turn. They cannot use any resources gained from your power on their turn. In

retrieval — what the search arm returned
score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. How many arms fused this ruling was NOT RECORDED (it predates the boost trail, ran on the path that stored none, or stored one that could not be read), and the ceiling depends on that count (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60): 2 arms top out at 0.03279; 3 arms top out at 0.04918. So a score above 0.03279 here is not an anomaly: it is arithmetic proof a boost arm voted, and the measured band 0.016–0.033 (taken on two-arm asks) is what does not apply. 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.

chosen chunks — what the answer actually cited
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.
no payload was recorded for this ruling (the call never returned one)
generation — timing and the path taken
- timing split
- retrieval 396 ms · first delta n/a · total 30426 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 396 ms · ask n/a ms · gateway work 30426 ms · total 30426 ms
- live seat (read from the running child)
- answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 50s ago)
- stream path
- requested, and the gateway WAS called — but the ask itself failed mid-flight, so this row makes no claim about what the child did or did not emit
- 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 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.
