Say you rolled 7 goods and you have "Quarrying".
You then have to move "Stone" twice.
Do you move it one extra hole each time (resulting in advancing 4 times the stone peg) or just once for the whole process ?

Say you have 4 stones and you have "Engineering". Can you convert all your 4 stones to 12 workers ? Or can you just do 1 stone for 3 workers once ?

Can you build boats before the "shipping" developement ?

Thanks !

Shipping
Cost: 25
Points: 5
For every Wood plus Cloth combination your turn in during the Build Cities, Monuments, and/or Ships step, you may build 1 ship. (The Wood is used for the hull and the Cloth is used for the sail.) No workers are needed to build ships. Mark the ships you build on your score sheet. Every turn, for every ship you own, you may swap any one good for any other good during the Trade step. For example, if you owned 2 ships, you could swap 1 Stone and 1 Wood for 2 Spearheads. (All swaps made with Shipping are made with the bank, not the other players.)

Based on how the rules are written it is easy to interpret that each time you collect stone you get two instead of one since they are sequentially collected. (Therefore in your example a 7-Goods hand roll you'd collect 4 pegs of stone instead of 3.)

I am not going to claim that I have the right interpretation of the rules, but my understanding aligns with this:



I cannot speak to any issues regarding any digital format.

The quick reference card states, "Take 1 extra stone when you produce any stone on your turn."

Note that it says, "any" and not "every" -- although I can see how that could be interpreted another way.

Intent: "Take 1 extra stone if you produce at least 1 stone on your turn."
