How do gray cards with no Bonus work? Do they count for the 10-point victory condition?
The gray cards with no Jewel bonus are placed on existing columns, they are not their own color. And as they DO NOT have a color, they do not count for the "10-point or more Prestige points on cards of the same color" - but they DO count towards the total of 20 prestige point win condition.
Can I take a pearl with a privilege scroll?
Yes
If I set a gray card on top of a card with an ability, do I get to use that ability?
