Rules summary
a player‘s turn consists of 3 steps: 1. Roll the dice 2 a. Acquire new citizens (+ possibly establish a new village) or b. Take a penalty card 3. Fill up the row of cards
1. Roll the dice
Take the six dice and try to roll them to claim one of the face-up citizen cards – ideally one with the highest possible number of victory points. The victory points that a card is worth are listed in the top left corner of the card. The following rules apply when rolling the dice: • You may roll a maximum of three times. • After each roll you may put as many dice as you like aside and roll again with the remaining dice. • You may also decide to reroll dice that were set aside earlier. • After the third roll the number of points will be added together. You may stop and count the number of points earlier if desired
2a. Acquire new citizens If you can fulfil the conditions of one of the face-up citizen cards with your dice result then you may take this card. If you can fulfil the conditions of multiple cards then you must de- cide on one of them. The cards that you collect during the game are collected face-up in front of you, in your kingdom pile. The requirements of all citizen cards can be found in the card overview at the end of the instructions.
Establish a new village For your kingdom to be successful you not only need to attract lots of citizens, but also establish new villages. If there is a citizen card that you can fulfil the requirements for underneath a village card of the same color then you can take the top village card as well as the citizen card. Both are placed face-up on your kingdom pile. The village card is placed under the citizen card.
2b. Take penalty card (Scoundrel) Does your dice result not let you fulfil the requirements of any of the face-up citizen cards? Then you need to take the top penalty card and place it on your kingdom pile. The minus points lis- ted on the scoundrel will be deducted from your victory points at the end of the game. You must also place the right-most face-up citizen card face-down on the discard pile.
3. Fill up the row of cards There is now one empty space in the row of face-up citizen cards. Move all cards left of the empty space one spot to the right, so that the empty space is now under the first village card pile. Place a new citizen card from the draw pile face-up in this space.
then pass the dice to the next player and your turn is over.
The game ends as soon as one of you takes the last card from one of the following card stacks: • Citizen draw pile • Stack of penalty cards, or • One of the stacks of village cards Each player takes their kingdom pile and adds together their victory points. The appropriate minus points are deducted for scoundrels and dragons. The person with the most victory points wins the game. If there is a tie the player with the least minus points on their cards wins.
