Title: Type of Pile
Post by: sorawotobu on February 09, 2017, 12:48:58 pm
What determines the types of a pile? Is it the top card while there is one and if the pile is empty, the randomizer?
Please confirm or correct the following statements:

The randomizer. So Encampent can take any token, even when Plunder is top. Castles can take no token even if Small Castle is on top.

Edge case: Embargo, Tax, Trade Route.

The exception there is that you can Seaway a Small Castle.

Assuming you have cost reduction, of course.

This is sad.  I want to be able to ferry small castle, ambassador back my two humble castles (opponents reveal trader), and then stonemason a squire into two humble castles and dame josephine with groundskeepers in play.
