  • A Support for the Throne must be played by the receiving player as soon as it is received. It cannot be kept secret.
    • If the active player receives a Support for the Throne, they cannot then attempt to trade it with another player. It must be played immediately.
  • Support for the Throne is returned when the system is activated, even if the active player will perform no hostile acts towards the other player this turn.
  • If an effect other than activating a system during a tactical action places a command counter in a system with the other player’s units, this will not cause Support for the Throne to be returned.
  • Activating a system containing only a player’s structures will still cause their Support for the Throne to be returned.
  • If two players trade their Support for the Throne to one another simultaneously, the active player will be the first to gain a victory point.
    • During the agenda phase, the first player in speaker order will be the first to gain a victory point.
