Through the Ages final scoring question

I'm new to using this site, pardon me if this info is more easily found, but I've looked a bit and asked in the message bar of games I've played without finding an answer.

In Through the Ages (full game), is there a way to see which age III event cards will be used for scoring at the end of the game?

Thanks,
Conan

No, they are added to the future events deck via political actions (unlike in the Advanced Game), and are hidden, just like all other cards in the event decks.

You only know for sure when you play an impact card yourself.

So the Age III events in the current/future events deck score at the end of the game! I always played that four cards are flipped at the beginning of the game to score at the end. That must be a advanced->full rule change that I missed.

Thanks for your response!

Yes, it's different from the advanced game. Sometimes, impact cards also score directly in Age III (depends on how fast the events deck is cycled through); if they turn up, they are scored immediately, not at the end of the game.
