Effect & use
Players receive final cards under the last-space rule and can no longer Replenish. Page 22 says to draw up to five, while page 23 describes five final cards; their handling of an existing hand is not unambiguous. Continue towards the usual victory objectives; a draw occurs if everyone runs out of cards before anyone wins.
Where to find it / how to resolve it
Trigger this phase by moving the Dark Arts Marker to the last path space. If not already taken, the Dark Arts Player must take a Location Card there and needs one pawn at its location.
Restrictions & timing
- The Replenish ban does not prevent drawing through card effects or Card Draw spaces.
- The last space is not an immediate Dark Arts victory or an immediate draw; remaining play may still produce a winner.
- Do not infer that an existing hand must be discarded or that exactly five cards are added to it: the public rulebook uses differing wording.

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.

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.

Diagrams, tabletop reference and navigation
Added original component, movement and encounter schematics, a printable quick reference, site-wide search, spelling suggestions and shareable filters. Reference entries and examples gained section navigation. Diagrams explain rules without claiming exact board coordinates.

Narrowed the final-phase example
Removed an impossible starting state from the last-space example. It begins with white and orange Progress Tokens, then takes the red token and Location Card together. Existing-hand and earlier-Location-Card questions are explicitly left unresolved.
