Coup
Does an Assassin still cost 3 coins if the target blocks with a Contessa?
The designer confirmed the cost stays paid when a block works, and the rulebook says the assassin's fee remains spent.

Yes. The 3 coins buy the attempt, so a Contessa block does not refund them; the block only stops the effect. The same holds if the target's Contessa claim is challenged and proven.
