Clarification on how to play EACH Idol during the Buy phase
I start my Buy phase with 3 Idols in Hand. I play my 1st Idol, given that when you play a card (including Treasures, you 'resolve them as they are played... correct?) and then per card text rule '... When you play this, if you then have an odd number of Idols in play, receive a Boon..., so I would take a Boon and resolve the Boon.
Note: see my other question about how to resolve an Idol's Boon here >>>

So now that I have resolved the playing my 1st Idol and resolved receiving the Boon from having only 1 Idol 'CURRENTLY" in play.
Then I play my NEXT Idol from my hand, NOW... I resolve the 2nd Idol per the card text rule "... f an even number, each other player gains a Curse...'. So now I do not get a Boon, but each other player gains a Curse...'
And then if I play a 3rd Idol I go back to the resolution that was done playing the 1st Boon.
Maybe this was clarified somewhere, but thought I would add how I read the card. (I have been wrong before though...sigh)
