Can I place a Terrain Tile anywhere on my Map Board?

No. Choose an empty hex matching the tile type and adjacent to a Capital Hex or a Terrain Tile already on your map. Special Terrain Hexes require a Special Terrain Tile. A tile flips when a Road Token touches one of its edges.

What makes a group of Properties a City?

At least three different Property Token types must be continuously adjacent. A Clock Tower counts as a type; Cookie Rabbits do not. Connecting two Cities merges them into one, which can reduce City Points at passing.

Does an automated Citizen Card resolve its Immediate Ability?

Yes. You must first play the Immediate Citizen Card and resolve its Immediate Ability. You may then pay one Diamond to automate that same card under its matching Industry Column. Its Automation Ability can activate when you gain the matching Industry Bonus.

Does Mio score points against me?

No. Mio blocks Action Areas and Round Aid spaces, but has no board, resources or Victory Points. Your result is compared with the rulebook’s 250- and 300-point performance thresholds.
