<p>Nobles visit base on mines, not gems. You need mines that produce gems that match what is listed on the noble card. What gems you have is irrelevant.</p>

<p>A player cannot refuse a visit from a noble.   </p>

<p>But can you choose to use jokers to change which noble visits if you don’t have the gem colors required at end of turn?</p>

Nobles aren't bought, with jokers or anything else. You gain one if you have the right cards in play. (Since they're free, there's on reason to refuse one.)

You can have multiple nobles, but you can only gain one per turn.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-09-30)

A player cannot refuse a visit from a noble.

But can you choose to use jokers to change which noble visits if you don’t have the gem colors required at end of turn?

You can only get one noble per turn, so if you satisfy the conditions for two nobles in the same turn, you get to choose which one visits you.

Example, you have 4 red, 4 blue, and 3 green. You buy another green card, and you satisfy the conditions for the noble that wants 4 red/4 green and the one that wants 4 blue/4green.

You can only take one, but you can choose which one.

If still available, you can get the second one in your next turn.
