Effect & use
Move two eligible House pawns up to two points each, or combine the two values to move one pawn up to four. No extra effect is printed.
Where to find it / how to resolve it
One Explore card is shown in every house’s seven-card Starter Deck; play it from your hand during Explore.
Restrictions & timing
- For two pawns, use 2 + 2 rather than 1 + 3; normal obstacle and pawn-status rules remain.
- The Explore Action can play other cards too; choosing the action does not supply this particular card.

Consistent terms, section search and two-side teaching
Unified 35 sourced English–Chinese terms and registered all three open rule questions. Search and guide backlinks now lead to matching sections in the current language. Added card-flow diagrams, conditional Dark Arts lessons and exact movement allowances alongside the five existing House comparisons. Unknown rules, routes, card effects and future draws remain unfilled.

Card atlas, board locations and action choices
Added verified rulebook card illustrations and grouped three same-name variant families. Added a sourced location index and conditional action-choice lessons with explicit state accounting. Integrated the new tools into guides, reference navigation, full-text search, page metadata and correction links. Unverified card names, coordinates, routes and future draws are not inferred.

Card lookup, comparison and effect timing
Unified card navigation on the card catalogue and labelled map links as movement guides. Added attribute filters and a shareable comparison of up to four source-checked card faces. Six additional Dark Arts Starter faces bring the collection to 16 named faces and 55 reference entries. Added 11 timing questions and four hypothetical worked examples with printed-page sources. This records preview content; the complete Acquire Deck remains outside the available evidence.

Content quality work in this revision
Added a 24-category component catalogue, nine sourced card examples and a rechecked Alohomora entry; the catalogue remains an identified sample rather than a complete Acquire Deck. Added a complete setup and first-round walkthrough with a player-count checklist, cross-links across all eight guides, reference information boxes, a clarification register, page-specific history and local correction drafts. This records reviewed preview content, without announcing the custom-domain launch.
