What is this?
Action retrieval involves reclaiming previously used actions, cards, or workers, often at the cost of tempo or opportunity. Timing when to retrieve becomes a key decision.
Examples of action retrieval
Concordia requires players to play a Tribune card to recover previously used actions, while Revive uses a similar system where retrieving cards can slow progress but reset options.
