Right. All the consumption actions must be performed, but only if you have the resources to perform them. And you can put them into any order you wish for the most efficient consumption.

Mis-read Trade/Consume as Trade/Produce for some reason.

Phase $ (Trade):
Phase IV (Consume): Discard any 1 good to gain 1 Victory Point chip. Choose a number from 1 to 7 and flip over the top card of the Card Supply. If its cost or defense matches the stated value, draw that card into your hand. (There's a table of how many Developments and Worlds there are for each number on the card, I can provide it if you really want it).

You can gamble if you like, there's no reason not to. You don't have to consume goods to use the gambling power, they're two separate things.

I don't believe that's true. You discard the good to perform the gambling action, I thought.

Edit: I'm quite wrong and Kester is right.

Valkun

Now that I look at it, they do seem like two seperate actions for the same phase.

It has one on top of the other.

What number do you pick? I'll just post here what it is.

Edit: Oh really? Let me look into it.

From the Rulebook:

"The Gambling World also has a standard consume power in addition to this one."

I rule that you do not need to fulfill the consume part to activate the gambling part.

Edit 2: Actually, the best interpretation is that they are two consume powers and can be put in any order. Gambling always activates because there is no cost.

Darian

No consuming action for me. Or whatever. Sending new action, I guess.

I think 7 is a bit on the low side. Someone would have to develop and settle pretty much every turn to get that (or something similar with consuming for VP chips). 11 turns seems more reasonable.

Darian

robotsunshine, don't read this until you've made your decision.

Anyway, I'll be back later.

I'll be developing Interstellar Banks; this costs two cards, then I draw one back
