A question came up in a local tournament today. One player had three Keeper Initiates on provinces and in the discard pile. He won a conflict with the appropriate ring to bring them into play.

Do all three of the reactions happen? Does this fall into the "One action per turn" rule? The second interpretation seems unlikely since they are on different cards. We assumed that the following flow happened:

- Player 1 claims ring

- Action window for Reaction to claiming ring opens

- Player 1 triggers Reaction on one Keeper Initiate to bring it into play

- Player 2 passes

- Player 1 triggers Reaction on next Keeper Initiate to bring it into play

- Player 2 passes

- Player 1 triggers Reaction on last Keeper Initiate to bring it into play

- Player 2 passes

- Player 1 passes

This would keep the action window open after the triggering event (claiming the ring) until both players had passed. Is this correct?

Does anyone have an idea? We couldn't be the only people to come across this.

The "1 per" rule means once per source. A single Keeper Initiate can only react to the Triggering Condition once. 3 copies are 3 different sources, so all 3 can react to the same Triggering Condition.

The break down of reaction windows is exactly as you describe it.

To my understanding, a reaction does not take up an action. It sort of just happens. My play group is of a mind that it goes something like

player 1 attacks with conflict

player 2 defends

player 1 claims ring

as a reaction, player 1 may place any number of available keeper initiates into play with 1 fate

then player 1 still gets his action

player 2 action

so on.

so far everyone at our store has read this the same way.

You are correct - reactions do not take up the action window. However when a Triggering Condition occurs (something you will react to) there is a "reaction window" that opens. During this time each player does take turns playing reactions. This prevents one player from trying to simply rush down his reactions without allowing his opponent an opportunity. This mini window does not use either players actual action turns.
