Can I use Trade tiles Z25–Z30 during the Capital phase? Official

Yes. These once-per-turn House placements may be used in the Capital phase, regardless of the Action card played. Their House can cover a player-board space and provide its advanced resource for later actions that turn.

Can I place more than one of my discs on the same Ritual card? Official

No. Z36 waives the usual resource and placement requirements, but it does not let you put a second disc of your colour on a Ritual. It can be used even when opponents already have discs there, without paying Gold for them.

Can one set of Houses score for more than one Ritual?

Yes. A House may contribute to the scoring condition of multiple Ritual cards at game end, provided each Ritual's own pattern is satisfied.
