# Turn Order - Recollection Phase

#### General Rules:

1. State-based effects are checked: If any effects cause a change in the game state, the turn player gains Opportunity after each ability pending resolution is placed onto the Effects Stack. The phase will continue to the next step after the Effects Stack is empty.
   1. During this step, any “beginning of recollection” abilities will enter the Effects Stack.
2. Opportunity: After the Effects Stack is empty, the turn player will immediately gain Opportunity. This is the last time players may act before the recollection of cards in the memory zone will take place as a turn-based action.
3. Turn-based Action: After the Effects Stack is empty and all players have passed Opportunity in succession in step 2, the turn player returns all cards in their memory zone to their hand as a turn-based game action that can’t be responded to. This is called recollection.
4. State-based effects are checked: If any effects cause a change in the game state, the turn player gains Opportunity after each ability pending resolution is placed onto the Effects Stack. The phase will continue to the next step after the Effects Stack is empty.
5. The game moves to the Draw phase.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rules.gatcg.com/game-mechanics/game-mechanics-turn-order/turn-order-recollection-phase.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
