FAQ
Official FAQ
- Each time you shuffle, you can spend Favors to look through the cards and pick up to two cards per Favor spent to put into your discard pile. Shuffle the other cards normally, but don't shuffle in those cards.
- 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, as with Order of Astrologers.
- 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 Masons when shuffling your starting deck during setup.
- Putting cards into your discard pile doesn't count as discarding (e.g. it won't activate e.g. Village Green).
- If you have Star Chart, you can both choose a card to go on top of of the shuffle, and spend Favors to leave cards in your discard pile.
- When you shuffle your entire deck (with e.g. Inn or Famine), you may spend Favors to both look through your entire deck, and put cards directly into your discard pile.
- When you need to shuffle to access more cards from your deck, you only shuffle one time, even if Order of Masons put some cards back in your discard pile. For example, if Sentinel makes you shuffle a discard pile of 2 Curses and 2 Provinces, but you spend a Favor to leave the 2 Provinces in your discard pile, the Sentinel will only look at the 2 Curses; you won't shuffle a 2nd time for the 2 Provinces.
- However, some cards access cards from your deck one at a time (e.g. Watchtower and Journeyman). If there aren't enough cards after shuffling for the first time, you will shuffle a second time.
- If you spend a Favor to look through the cards you're shuffling, but decide not to put any of them into your discard pile, you still lose that Favor.

Trivia
Preview
Order of Masons is a novel one: it lets you keep cards out of a shuffle.
Secret History
This started out as a Reserve card. Reserve cards overlapped too much with Favors, so it turned into an Ally. Mostly it had you set aside exactly two cards per Favor, but my heart softened, and now it's "up to" two per.
