How do the Marquise de Cat's mechanical movement rules work?
Quick answer
The Marquise moves like any faction: take warriors from a clearing you rule and move them to an adjacent clearing you rule or are moving into. [p.5 — Moving Around the Map]
Details
The Marquise has no special movement rules beyond the standard ones. To move, you must rule the clearing you are moving from or moving to—meaning you have the most combined warriors and buildings there (ties mean no one rules). [p.5 — Moving Around the Map]
During Daylight, the Marquise can take the March action, which lets her take two moves. Each move lets her take any number of warriors from one clearing and move them to a clearing connected by a path. [p.10 — Daylight]
The Marquise cannot move into forests—only the Vagabond can do that. [p.5 — Moving Around the Map]
Watch out: The Marquise's Field Hospitals ability (tied to her Keep token) is not a movement rule—it's a special ability that lets her spend a card to place removed warriors back into the clearing with the keep, but this happens during battle, not as a normal move. [p.10 — Marquise de Cat]
