FAQ

Official FAQ

• If you don't have any Action cards to play, you'll still draw up to 6.
• If the Action card you play draws you another copy of itself, you can play that copy, and so on.
• First Mate can play First Mates; keep careful track of which card you're resolving, as you would with multiple Throne Rooms.

First Mate is a tricky draw-to-X card. It can be a big village and draw a bunch of cards, or not do much at all.
