FAQ
Official FAQ
- Each time you shuffle, you can spend Favors to look through the cards and pick one card per Favor spent to go on top. Shuffle the other cards normally.
- You can't look through your cards unless you spend at least one Favor. You can look at any to-be-drawn cards while making this decision; for example, if you're shuffling at end of turn and had two cards left, you can look at those, then decide whether or not to spend Favors and what cards to put on top.
- After spending a Favor and looking at the cards, you may still spend more Favors.
- Note that Emissary and Underling can cause you to shuffle before giving you Favors; the Favors you don't have yet can't be used on that shuffle.
Other rules clarifications
- Since you can only begin using Favors starting from the first turn of the game, you can't use Order of Astrologers when shuffling your starting deck during setup.
- If you shuffle your entire deck (with e.g. Inn), you may still spend Favors for Order of Astrologers. If you do, you get to look through your entire deck.
- If you have Star Chart, you may pick one card to go on top for free, and then may spend Favors to put additional cards on top.
- If you spend multiple Favors for this, you can choose the order for the cards you put on top of the shuffled cards. This may matter if e.g. you play Smithy with 2 cards in your deck, and the Emissary will only draw one of the cards you put on top with Order of Astrologers.
- The cards you choose with this go on top of the other shuffled cards, not on top of your deck. So if you play Smithy with 2 Towns in your deck, you can't use Order of Astrologers to put 3 Coppers on top of the Towns; you're forced to draw those 2 Towns dead.
- If you spend a Favor to look through the cards you're shuffling, but decide not to put any of them on top, you still lose that Favor.
