Event Cards
Event cards are blue-bordered. They are drawn from the event deck when the Event Die is rolled, and their instructions are carried out at once. A card is not kept in hand.
Fortschritt (Progress)
- Growth of raw materials; concerns both players.
- Example: a player has two Klosters (cloisters) and one Bibliothek (library) in their principality. They immediately receive three raw materials of their choice and turn the affected regions accordingly.
Card text: Each player receives one raw material for each Kloster, Bibliothek and Universität that they own.
Development Cards for Colonies
Development cards for colonies have green borders. Their placement and purchase follow the base game rules; the source does not restate them for these cards.
Kloster (Cloister)
- Allows the player to have more cards in hand.
- Whoever builds a Kloster may take one extra card at the end of their turn.
- A player who owns two Klosters may have two extra cards in hand (total 5).
- If a player loses a Kloster, they also lose the benefit of one extra card. The excess card must immediately be placed under one of the development card piles.
Card text: You may have one more card in hand.
Development Cards for Cities
City development cards have red borders.
Bibliothek (Library)
- Allows the player to have one more card in hand, plus one victory point.
- Whoever builds a Bibliothek may take one extra card at the end of their turn.
- A player who owns two Bibliotheken (or one Bibliothek and one Kloster) may have five cards in hand.
- If a player loses their Bibliothek, they also lose the benefit of one extra card. The excess card must immediately be placed under one of the development card piles.
Card text: You may have one more card in hand.
Questions and Answers
The source's FAQ is reproduced here only for the entry that concerns the Kloster and the Bibliothek. The source states that this FAQ "is somewhat dated and does not cover the expansions at all."
Q (7). A player who owns a Kloster and a Bibliothek, or two Klosters, can they have 5 cards in hand?
A. A player receives one extra card for each Kloster and each Bibliothek. One can therefore go up to 7 cards in hand, since there are two Klosters and two Bibliotheken in the game.
