Ruling · 900.36
Dividend-first shop payment
This rule is part of the Comprehensive Rules, where every cross-reference resolves in one page.
- Question
- A shop purchase costs 5 and I have 3 Dividend and 4 Gold. What happens?
- Answer
- Spend 3 Dividend and 2 Gold, then gain 3 Profit.
- 900.36aThe discounted total cost is authoritative. Dividend pays as much of that cost as possible first, and Gold pays only the remainder.
- 900.36bEach Dividend actually spent adds exactly 1 Profit, so this purchase spends 3 Dividend and 2 Gold and adds 3 Profit.
- 900.36cSelling a Penny or Hub is separate: it grants only the card's normal Gold sell value. Explicit abilities can react to a Penny sale by adding Dividend, but a sale never inherently spends Dividend or grants Profit.
