Straightforward question that came up in a play last night:Can a pre-installed trap be used to pay the Golem's wages (or hire the Golem)?
One player argued that once the trap is installed, the trap card is no longer "yours" (rather, you have a token denoting the trap's ability in the room/tunnel where you installed it, and the trap card is only left to remind what that token does), while the other side was that the Golem's rule text does not specify where the trap comes from, only that you discard a trap card. (The others eventually decided to allow me to use the trap for wages, in large part because it was our first game with the expansion and I didn't know the rule in time to plan to get a trap earlier. But I think we'd all like to know the official rule here!)
