Always reveal then resolve the pile of influence cards assigned to the furthest RIGHT family, 2. Flip the top card of the pile horizontally to reveal it 2.1.

If Guard place over family card (B) 2.4, If Assassin leave below family for now (C) 2.5. If Pleasantries immediately discard 3. Once all cards have been revealed for a Family resolve them in the following manner. 3.1, For each Assassin, a Guard must be discarded. If no Guard can be discarded instead kill the current family member. Then discard the assassin card. 3.2, Any remaining Guards are left on the family until the end of the round. 3.3, The combined total of all the Donation/Levy (+1/-1) cards is the direction and amount the family moves on the favour trackRules Moving along Favour track Once the total value has been calculated the family can be moved along the Favour Track. A positive value (Green) moves to the left. A negative value (Red) moves to the right. A zero means the family does not move. In the example the family in the furthest right (position2) has two Donation cards and so will move up two spaces to position4, Those families will move to positions 1 and 2 respectively, The Favour track is only ever as long as the number of remaining families. Any excess moves that would take you beyond either of the track ends are ignored. Addtionally any gaps that may ocour, for example if both family members are eliminated and that card is removed, are filled by moving all familes lower on the Favour Track up. When a senior successor (portrait looks left) is killed you may flip the card to the younger successor (portrait looks right) If the second Successor is killed then the family card is removed from the favour Track completely. Any player that is pledged to a family that is removed looses the game. They turn thier pledge card face up and no longer take part.
