Card Anatomy

Dice Probability

From left to right, this shows the resources that can be earned from dice: Food, Music, Drink, Wild, and Moon token. A Wild can be used as one Food, Music, or Drink when validating a Client.

When you roll a die, you receive the resource it lands on, but all resources earned from rolling dice will disappear at the end of your turn—except Moon tokens, which you get to keep after turn end. If a die lands on a Moon token, you receive a new Moon token to place in any of your vacant Moon token slots (if you have no vacant slots, the new Moon token is lost).

When it is a player's turn to roll dice, the 3 white dice will always be rolled. Every player receives the resources the white dice land on regardless of who rolled them, but the red die and the blue die must be individually obtained using a Bonus (from placing Moon tokens and/or validating Clients) before a player can roll them and benefit from others rolling them.

Each white die has a 50% chance of landing on food, a 33% chance of music, and a 16% chance of drink.

The blue die has a 50% chance of landing on Moon token, a 33% chance of food, and a 16% chance of a wild resource.

The red die has a 33% chance of landing on drink, a 33% chance of a wild resource, a 16% chance of Moon token, and a 16% chance of music.

You cannot roll more than one blue or red die, so there's no reason to get multiples of those bonuses once unlocked.

Icons

Icon Meaning
If you are the active player, you can reroll any die for as many bonus arrows as you have during your turn.
When you draw cards, you can draw as many cards as eye icons you have.
You must always have as many Client cards as instances of this icon.
When you have to discard a Moon token to validate a Client, discard 1 less than required. This stacks - very useful! (But don't overdo it at the expense of getting prestige points.)
Immediately gain 2 Moon tokens when you take this card (not when you validate it).
Immediately take 1 Moon token. All other players lose 1 Moon token at the end of their action.
Gives 1 prestige point for each validated Client card of your majority color. This also stacks, but with your second majority color, then third, and so on.
