The goldsmith card says "Pay any 1 ac and take one gc." and the office cards say "pay 1 violet (blue, black, etc...) ac and take one gc". Does this mean that if I have say 5 violet cubes I can trade them in for 5 gold or is it only one AC per turn for 1 gc?

Thanks.

The cards are one-use-per-turn cards unless otherwise stated. (And off the top of my head, I can't think of any that you can reuse.) So yes, it's just one Cube exchanged for one Gold. But you can use that card each turn.

So are you saying that you can reuse the office and goldsmith cards multiple times a turn, e.g. exchange 5 ac for 5 gc?

I understand that there are "reusable" cards, i.e. the ones that state "each", "every time", etc... But my question is specifically about the office cards which allow the exchange of ac for gc.

The answer from Drew is correct. The post from John I suppose is to provide additional clarification about how to identify multi-use cards. That thread points out all of the cards that are multi-use, so any cards not mentioned there are single use as you thought and Drew confirmed.

The German rules uses the 3 expressions: "jeweils", "jeder/jedes" and "immer wenn" for the 3 types of cards that are explicitly allowed to be used more than once.

This should be a complete list of all these cards, so cards not mentioned can only be used once per turn or at the end of the game.


9 cards uses the term "immer wenn (every time):

Accountant
"You receive 1 Gold every time you activate an Office card."
Carpenter
"You receive 1 Gold every time you take possession of a City District."
Count
"You may pay 4 Gold instead of the required AC every time you activate a card."
Embassy
"You receive 2 PP every time you gain Prestige from the Tribute Table."
Envoy
"Take 1 AC of your choice every time you gain Prestige from the Prestige Table."
Herald
"You may pay 3 Gold instead of the required AC every time you take possession of a city District."
Master Builder
"You receive 2 Gold every time you activate a Building."
Hospital
"You receive 1 Gold every time you activate a Person card."
Well
"Move 1 space forward on the Wall every time you buy a district."


15 cards uses the term jedes (each):

8 of these are Warehouses for the 8 types of Goods: they all doubles the PP you receive for each Good delievered.

4 cards allow you to pay 1 AC less:
Archive for each Office card you activate.
Crane for each Building you activate.
Healer for each Person card you activate.
Speculator for each City District you buy.

Cooperage
"You receive 1 PP more for each Goods tile you deliver."
Jester
"You may use each of your Joker (wild) tiles twice."
Lighthouse
"You receive 1 Gold for each Goods tile you deliver."

The Secretary does not contain any of the key words, but may still be used several times during your turn:
"You may use 1 Office card of each type twice."


These cards are Permanents that triggers every time you do the action:

Office Worker
"You receive 1 Gold for each Office card used."
Noble
"Receive 1 AC of any kind for each set of 2 Gold you return to the supply."
Professor
"You receive 1 Gold for each dice showing a "1" you pick."
Prospector
"You receive 1 Gold for each set of 3 AC of any color you return to the suply."
Scientist
"You receive 1 AC more than the number shown for each die you select."


The following cards are multiuse, but it is best to trigger them only ONCE.
(unless you are good at keeping track)

Cathedral
"Each AC of different colors (up to 6) you return will earn you 1 PP."

Soldier
"Receive 1 Gold for each set 4 of your own Possession markers you have in the city."

Town Hall - Stone Quarry - Treasury - Customs - Fort - Justice
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Administration" you have."
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Build" you have."
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Finance" you have."
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Customs" you have."
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Military" you have."
"You receive 1 PP for each active Office card "Justice" you have."
