(Q) Are you allowed to count the number of cards in your draw deck? What about your opponent's draw deck? What about a discard pile?
(A) You are allowed to count the cards in your draw deck whenever you wish (without looking at the actual card faces, or changing the order). You may request that your opponent count the cards in his draw deck, and tell you the total. Neither player may count or look through any discard pile (except when looking for the next planet location).

(Q) Is Battle of Naboo card 4 "Anakin Skywalker, Padawan" a Jedi?
(A) No, he is not. Characteristic Rule: A card has a particular characteristic only if its title or its subtitle includes the name of that characteristic. Examples of such characteristics include "Jedi," "senator," "Gungan," "Neimoidian," or "Podracer pilot."

(Q) Is Menace of Darth Maul card 73 Sebulba, Bad-Tempered Dug considered to be a "Podracer pilot"?
(A) Yes. This is an exception to the Characteristic Rule.

(Q) Is Enhanced Battle of Naboo card P9 Anakin Skywalker, Tested by the Jedi Council a Jedi?
(A) No. This is an exception to the Characteristic Rule. The reference in the subtitle is to the Jedi Council and not to Anakin himself.

(Q) What are the rules for the Wild Card characters from Enhanced Menace of Darth Maul?
(A) A wild card has two or more white deckbuilding dots. The position of each white dot indicates a dot color that wild card can be used for. A wild card with six white dots can go into any dot color! However, you can only put one wild card in each dot color. Thus, you can have up to six wild cards in your deck if you like. (They don't all have to be copies of the same card.) If you go with the maximum of six wild cards, then each of your six dot colors will have nine cards of the appropriate color plus one wild card as the tenth card in that color. It's easy to check a deck for proper construction. Just make piles by dot color and then fill in with one wild card per pile to make ten in each.

(Q) Can I deploy a weapon to a location where there are no characters (or where there are no characters that can use that weapon)?
(A) Yes. Weapons may be at a location even if there is no character at that location that can use it. During a battle, an unusable weapon is simply moved to one side and not used, but will still be considered to be on the planet at the end of the battle.

(Q) When I am looking for an Effect card to take into my hand according to the "New Effect Card rules" from the Duel of the Fates rulesheet and I cannot find one, do I have to take 1 damage?
(A) No, you don't, because you're not deploying from your draw deck. And remember, you only look for an Effect with this rule if you want to - you don't have to do this if you know you don't have any Effects in your draw deck.

(Q) When I deploy a card that has game text that includes a phrase like, "When he deploys..." as a hidden card, can I use that game text when that card turns face up on my next turn?
(A) No. If you deploy a card like this, you may never use that game text (neither when you deploy that card hidden, nor when it is revealed).

(Q) Can I deploy two copies of Amidala's Starship to my Hyperspace pile?
(A) No. For the seven starships Darth Maul's Starfighter, Droid Control Ship, Amidala's Starship, Radiant VII, and Bravo 1, 2, and 3, these starships are indeed unique and not stackable, as they are printed. Therefore, you may not have more than one copy of each of these cards in your Hyperspace pile at one time. You may have multiple copies of these cards in your draw deck.

(Q) When declaring the number of Battle cards to be used in a battle, who declares first? Can either player change their mind once they find out how many Battle cards their opponent is playing?
(A) The attacker, then the defender. This is covered in the rules booklet under "Adding Battle Cards to Your Battle Plan". Neither player may alter their decisions once declared.

(Q) Can I bluff by adding cards other than Battle cards from my hand during battle?
(A) No. Only Battle cards may be taken from your hand, placed in front of you and declared during a battle.

(Q) Can I put more than one Battle card per fight in my Battle plan?
(A) Yes, but only one Battle card will work in each fight.

(Q) Can I use the STAP weapon, or the Battle card "In Complete Control" with a Battle Droid Squad? (A) The STAP may be used with a Battle Droid Squad because it works with "any battle droid". but the Battle card "In Complete Control" can only be used with "any [diamond]  battle droid", and thus does not work with the Battle Droid Squad.

(Q) Is the Trade Federation Tank a character?
(A) Yes, and thus cards that work with "any character" can be played with the Tank.

(Q) Do I draw destiny for a Battle card, weapon or character that is not involved in a fight?
(A) No.

(Q) Who wins when both players draw their last card for destiny during the same fight?
(A) The game ends in a tie, even if one player is making more destiny draws than the other. Both players make all their required destiny draws for the current fight, and then you check to see if one or both players have drawn the last card from their draw deck (before any damage is taken).

(Q) Does Battle of Naboo card 130 Da Dug Chaaa! also apply to Light Side Podracer pilots?
(A) No.

(Q) When my opponent uses a "Force push" Battle card (Battle of Naboo card 51 Jedi Force Push or card 125 Sith Force Push), how does that work?
(A) If you have a weapon in that fight, it may not be used. If your Battle card (such as Open Fire!) or your character's game text (such as Aurra Sing, Mercenary) depends upon your character using a weapon, then that Battle card or game text may not be used in that fight. If your character is defeated, your weapon is not lost.

(Q) When Enhanced Menace Of Darth Maul card P2 Mace Windu, Jedi Warrior, uses the Battle card Wisdom of the Council, does he get the power bonus from his game text for "the next fight?" Does he get that power bonus if he doesn't fight a [diamond] character?
(A) Yes to both questions.

(Q) When there is some confusion for how two opposing Battle cards resolve, which one goes first?
(A) The timing procedure for unusual Battle card combinations is as follows: (1) Draw all destiny cards as needed for weapons and/or Battle cards; (2) the attacking player's Battle card resolves; and (3) the defending player's Battle card resolves. As an additional note, when a Battle card refers to a character (or destiny card) in the fight and there's more than one to choose, the player of the Battle card may choose either.

(Q) When a Battle card uses the term "destiny number," does that refer to the destiny number of the Character card in the fight or the destiny number of the card drawn for destiny?
(A) The term "destiny number" refers only to the destiny number of the card drawn for destiny. Terms such as "destiny of your character" or "his opponent's destiny" refer to the destiny number of the Character card in the fight.

(Q) When I have two copies of a card in play with game text like "o Adds power bonus to each of your starfighters," do each of my starfighters add two power? And does that game text work when those cards are on any planet (even if it's not the current planet)?
(A) Yes to both questions.

( (Q) How do I choose which card fights in a duel when there's more than one version of a stackable character at the current planet? )?
(A) The attacker may choose any version of his dueling character at the current planet (selecting a specific card), and then identifies the defending dueling character. If the defender has more than one version in his stack, then the defending player may choose which particular card defends in the duel. For example, in a duel at Theed Palace, Darth Maul, Dark Lord of the Sith is chosen to fight Qui-Gon. The defender has both the Jedi Master and Jedi Ambassador versions of Qui-Gon there, so he chooses the Jedi Ambassador card, which has a power of 7 to match Maul's.

(Q) How do I choose which card fights in a duel when there's more than one version of a stackable character at the current planet?
(A) The attacker may choose any version of his dueling character at the current planet (selecting a specific card), and then the defender chooses the defending dueling character in the same manner.

(Q) How often can the game text for Enhanced Battle of Naboo card P9 Anakin Skywalker, Tested by the Jedi Council be used?
(A) The word "he" in this card's game text means "this card." So each copy of that card may use its game text once per turn (to redraw only one of the three listed destiny draws). The decision to use or not use this game text is made by the player of the card each time that one of the three listed destiny draws is made.

(Q) For a card that refers to the "opponent's destiny" like You Are Strong With The Force, how does that work when my character has multiple opponents in one fight?
(A) When you use a card that refers to an opponent's character in a situation where the opponent has more than one character (by using a "fight together" card, for example), you must choose only one of the opponent's characters.

(Q) Does Enhanced Battle of Naboo card P11 Captain Panaka, Royal Defender get a power bonus of 2 or 8 from Duel of the Fates card 27 Naboo Royal Security Forces?
(A) He gets a power bonus of only 2.

(Q) When Duel of the Fates card 33 Aurra Sing, Trophy Collector uses a Sith Lightsaber, does she get a power bonus of one when dueling (or three when dueling a Jedi)? During a battle, does she get a destiny draw and a power bonus of one (or three when fighting a Jedi)?
(A) Yes to both questions.

(Q) Can I surrender a planet at the end of my first turn on that planet?
(A) Yes. Any face down cards will be turned face-up at the beginning of the owner's next turn.

(Q) Do I Even Up on my opponent's turn?
(A) No. You only Even Up on your own turn.

(Q) Who wins when I defeat all my opponent's characters from my second planet, but then draw my last card when I Even Up?
(A) Your opponent. A deck victory is immediate and thus occurs before a planet victory can be earned at the end of the turn.

(Q) If a turn ends with no characters on the planet on either side, what happens?
(A) The game continues with the next turn, usually resulting in the player taking that turn deploying a character and then taking control of the planet.

(Q) What happens when a player reveals hidden cards that total more than six deploy counters?
(A) The player who deployed his hidden cards illegally must immediately concede the current planet. His deployed cards remain on that planet (discard any Battle cards or Starships). His opponent may then take all the cards she deployed on the current planet and shuffle them back into her deck. Then the player who deployed illegally must even up, choose the next planet and take the first turn there.

(Q) What happens if a player is found to have deployed a stackable card that is already deployed on another planet?
(A) Since such a card play is illegal, cards in stacks of that character or weapon on all planets except the first stack that was deployed are immediately taken into the owner's hand. (Unless the misplay involves hidden cards, in which case use the rule above.) Remember, stackable cards with the same card title represent the same person or item, regardless of what those cards have for subtitles. For example, Naboo has been controlled, and stranded on Naboo your opponent has Queen Amidala, Royal Leader and Queen Amidala, Voice Of Her People. You notice that there is a Queen Amidala, Royal Leader and a Queen Amidala, Ruler Of Naboo on the current planet of Tatooine. Your opponent must immediately take into his hand all copies of Queen Amidala on Tatooine. Any counters used to deploy her there remain used.

(Q) What happens if a player is found to have placed a card from his hand into his battle plan which is not a Battle card?
(A) That player must immediately take the illegally played card back into his hand.

(Q) What can I do if I think my opponent has not properly shuffled his or her deck?
(A) A proper shuffle is done in front of your opponent, with all cards face down, and you must allow your opponent to cut your deck. If you feel that your opponent has not sufficiently randomized his or her deck (or that your opponent may be stacking the cards in that deck in any way), notify your Tournament Director, who may judge that additional shuffling is needed.
