Can I put more than one assistant on my own library tile in solo play? Official
Yes. The solo restriction limits you to one assistant at each location; the designer clarified that your home library is not a location, so multiple assistants can use its spaces.

Can the Shelfmasons Guild or the Wizard shift book cards vertically? Official
Yes, vertical shifts are allowed when they follow the ability's movement rules. The Wizard must shelve its new card into one of the empty spaces created by its shift.

When do the Goblin Sneak and Gelatinous Cube affect assistants at their location? Official
Their visit triggers happen as the opposing assistant is placed. The Goblin may target opponents already there; the Cube affects opponents who arrive after it. If the Goblin visits the Cube's location, resolve the Cube first.
