Title: when does the action phase change to the buy phase?
Post by: ehunt on February 08, 2017, 04:58:27 am
Example: Sarah Crowns a Crown, first Crowning a Smithy, and draws only treasure. My understanding is that she cannot say "this is now my buy phase, and so I will use the second play of Crown on this Gold." Is this correct?

The wiki says further that if Sarah Princes a Crown (somehow), she cannot say at the start of her turn "this is now my buy phase, so I will Crown this Gold."

What is the precise rule for when her buy phase starts? (i.e. when does she have the power to say, "this is my buy phase.")

When there's nothing left unresolved and you don't want to do anything more in your Action phase.

EDIT: I misunderstood, but no, you're still playing Crown in your Action phase. You are in the middle of resolving Crown 1, you can't switch phases while a card is being resolved. I don't know why she didn't just play the two Crowns separately?

The latter I believe is your Action phase as well, but that is less obvious to me. I remember reading that it was your Action phase somewhere though.

Look at the bold.

Hoping to draw action from Smithy.
