Each Action card shows a Special action that you may perform. You may also choose to not perform the Special action at all and only place your Caballeros (Place Caballeros). If you perform the Special action, you must perform as much of the action as possible, even if it benefits another player more than you (e.g. they score more points).

Note: Some cards give you options (e.g. "Move up to 4 of your own Caballeros").

You can find an explanation of the different Special actions on the rule Action card explanations and under the category Special card explanations.

Example 1

You choose the "Your Majesty" Action card. You decide to place Caballeros first. You may place up to 5 from your Court in the King’s neighbor regions or throw them into the Castillo. The King is in Valencia, so you place 2 Caballeros in Granada and 2 in Toledo. You throw the last Caballero into the Castillo.

After that, you use the Special action to move the King to Toledo.

Example 2

You choose the "Fiesta" Action card. It’s Special action scores all 5-point regions (Aragón, Navarra and Valen-cia). Since this would give more points to other players, you decide not to perform the Special action.

After that, you may place up to 3 Caballeros from the Province on the game board. You place 1 in Aragón and 2 in Toledo.

You have now performed your Special action and placed your Caballeros. Place your used Action card face up on the discard pile. If you used the King’s card "Your Majesty", put it back as the 5th stack face down.

These cards are no longer available for the other players this round.

Your turn ends and the player with the next highest Power card takes their turn (see rule Phase 2: Play Power Cards).
