San Marco questions in english

[MrValroux]

Hi :)
since i do not speak german, i can only ask those questions in english.
1 - The rules says that if you want to move the doge, you have to pay to the owner of the bridge one prestige point. What if you cannot pay because you do not have prestige point? And how's that work? The mover of the doge lose one and the owner of the bridge gain one?
2 - What if a player have no more wooden cubes? He cannot play a traitor, all the 'place one noble there' become useless. Right?
Thanx :)

You can pay more points than you have, because you can have negative points. If you don't like negativ points you all can start with 20 points (or anything else).

Exact.
HTH, Carsten (try to write understandable english)

Dear MrValroux,
Carsten Wesel has already answered your first question and he is totally correct. You may move your Prestige Marker back from the start space (in effect going into negative points).
The answer to your second question is that if all your aristocrats are on the board, you may move one of them when you have the chance to place one.
Best Wishes,
