Every Knight costs

FAQ
Official FAQ

- Shuffle the Knights pile before playing with it, keeping it face down except for the top one, which is the only card that can be gained from the pile.
- Follow the rules on Knights in order from top to bottom; Sir Michael causes players to discard before it trashes cards.
- The ability they have in common is that each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes one of them that he chooses that costs from to , and discards the rest; then, if a Knight was trashed, you trash the Knight you played that caused this trashing. Resolve this ability in turn order, starting with the player to your left.

- When Sir Martin is the top card of the pile, it can be gained with an Armory and so on.
- If Sir Vander is trashed, you gain a Gold; this happens whether it is trashed on your turn or someone else's. The player who had Sir Vander is the one who gains the Gold, regardless of who played the card that trashed it.

- When playing Dame Anna, you may choose to trash zero, one, or two cards from your hand.
