Carpenter

Economical Construction

Discard 2 Determination tokens to spend 1 less wood during one Action of any type.

Crasmanship

Discard 2 Determination tokens to reroll any brown Action die. Note! You cannot use the Determination tokens gained from an unsuccessful die roll to reroll that die which gave you those Determination tokens. …

Broken Ground

Though the Corporation spends much of the game repelling the Runner's intrusions, traces and tags give the Corporation opportunities to attack the Runner.

Traces

Some card abilities initiate a trace on the Runner. Traces are marked by the language "TraceX" on a card, with X equaling the base trace strength of the trace. Traces pit the Corporation's trace strength against the Runner's link strength, both of which are increased by spending credits.

The Corporation acts first during a trace, openly spending any number of credits to increase his trace strength by one point for each credit he spends. There is no limit to the number of credits the Corporation can spend on the trace. …

The Sultanate of Naqala continues to flourish. This time of prosperity has attracted more competitors than grains of sand in the desert, so if you expect to remain on top, you'll have to learn some new tricks... especially since the Sultan founded 5 new fabulous cities that everyone wants to control.

I've also heard that the Sultan sometimes holds hearings in those cities, offering huge rewards to those who grant him his whims. Are you up for the challenge?

With "Whims of the Sultan", up to 5 players can now vie to control the 5 fabulous cities and work to satisfy the Sultan's requirements. This expansion can be played with the base game alone or along with "The Artisans of Naqala" expansion. …

Q1 : I've obtained several Equipment Cards. Can their effects be combined?

A1 : Yes they can. Let's say you have "Cursed Sword Masamune", "Butcher Knife", "Chainsaw", "Handgun" and "Machine Gun".

First you must attack another player due to the effect of "Cursed Sword Masamune". In addition, due to the effect of "Handgun" and "Machine Gun", all the players in all the ranges except your range will be attacked.

Further, due to the effect of "Cursed Sword Masamune", "Butcher Knife" and "Chainsaw", the dam- age amount you give would be: the number rolled on a 4-sided die +1 (Butcher Knife) + 1 (Chainsaw). …
