THE ACTION CARDS
Detailed explanations of the card texts
If the meaning of a special action is not clear, consult the detailed explanation of that card.
The following applies to all cards:
A)The King’s region (the region where the King stands): is always taboo. The only change that may ever occur in the King’s region is the movement of the King from the region using an action to move the King. Otherwise, a player may neither add to nor take from this region! If a player uses an action and believes that the action allows changes in the King’s region, he is mistaken! Scoring occurs in the King's region, however.
B)Secret Disk: if an action card requires the secret disk, the players each simultaneously and secretly select a region using the disks.
C)Castillo: whenever Caballeros are added to the game board or moved, any or all of them may also be put into the Castillo. However, Caballeros may only be removed from the Castillo during the general scoring.
D)Sequence of Actions: each card allows two actions:
a)moving a number of Caballeros onto the game board and
b)the action described by the picture and text (the special action).
The player decides which of the two actions to execute first. An action may not be split. Therefore, all of one action must be completed before the next is begun.
E)Number: the cards indicate the maximum number of Caballeros that the player may move onto the game board. The player may move fewer Caballeros at any time.
F)Move Caballeros onto the game board: Caballeros may only be moved from the court into the regions adjacent to the King's region or into the Castillo. Caballeros moved based on a special action may be added or moved to the Castillo or to any region except the King's region.
G)Skipping the special action: the player may choose not to execute the special action shown on the card. In fact, the player may select a card in order to prevent the special action from being executed.
