Rule Clarification: Timing of Castle Actions and Courtier "Card Stealing"

Post by ftejelo »

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the timing of actions in The White Castle. Specifically, I’m looking to confirm if a "3-action combo" is legal:

The Situation:
I place a die in a Castle room that has two actions. One of those actions allows me to do a Courtier Action.

The Sequence:

Action 1: I move my Courtier onto the card I am currently resolving in the Castle.

Card Move: Per the rules, I take that card into my personal domain, slide my old card to the Lantern area, and resolve one white-background action from the new card.

Action 2: I then want to resolve the second action that was on the original card (the one I just moved to my player board).

The Question:
Do I still get to perform that second action even though the card is no longer physically in the Castle room? Does the game "remember" the two actions I activated when I placed the die, or does the action become unavailable because the card moved?

My understanding is that since I triggered the room, both actions are "locked in," but I want to make sure I’m playing this correctly for competitive play.

Thanks in advance!

i think you can just resolve the other one action before you trigger that courtier action, since the actions can do in any order, right?
