When you play the jester & flip a power card, which you then put in your hand, when you flip again & don't get a number card but get another power card, do you continue to collect the power cqrds in your hand until you flip a number card? Are you allowed to have more than 5 cards? Thanks, great fun.

Can you send us a hard copy of the game rules so we can follow the video better? We purchased the game second hand and it is missing the instructions. Looks like fun! Thank you

If you have no queens and only have protection cards (wands and dragons) in hand, what do you do on your turn (since you can't discard either protection card without a knight or sleeping potion to counter)?
