Footnotes

- ↑ As noted in the rules, a player may deploy a barn, play a tower piece, or place a follower on the Wheel of Fortune.
- ↑ It seems a mistranslation by RGG of the original HiG rules. Big Box 3 written rules indicate the dragon moves after scoring but the turn sequence summary instructs to move the dragon before scoring. The written rules have been considered to have precedence in this matter.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 An official clarification reverted the rules stated in Big Box 3 that allowed the fairy to be placed by a follower on a castle. The reason stated is that the fairy has to be placed on a tile.
- ↑ The discrepancy in the ZMG rules can be caused by a mistranslation of the original HiG rules.
