A player, 4 June 2014
Relating in some part to this question which is still under discussion.
bow: Produce 1 Gold. Give this Holding a +1 Gold Production Wealth token if you are bringing a Holding into play.
Is the effect from Bookkeeper instantaneous or continuous?
If instantaneous, assuming it occurs immediately after you have bowed the holding to pay for the recruit action, how does it know you are buying a holding?
If continuous, assuming that the action refers to a future event of you buying a holding in, as the effect has no duration or limit does it count for all future holdings you buy in this turn?
Thanks

It's a triggered trait, that gives the token if you use the 1G to Recruit a Holding.
We were in the process of revising our wording of these kinds of effects when Bookkeeper went to print, and players will see a better marriage of intuitive and technical wording going forward.
