After Checking Alliances, it is time to Collect Taxes, advancing your Coin 1 space on your Gold Track for each gold gained. First, gain gold () and Plot Cards () from any open space on your Force Track as a result of recruiting. Plot Cards are gained in player order starting with the player who has the Hand of the King Token.

Then, gain 1 gold from each Fief Domain you control—These domains do not have castles and instead have a single gold icon listed on their Map Card. Advance your Coin 1 space on your Gold Track for each gold gained from collecting taxes, and if you control King’s Landing, advance an additional 2 spaces.
