The game is about playing characters to build districts.
Good for 2-7 players. But ideal is 5.
The game will end when one player succesfully build 8 districts.
And scoring will be based on the number of golds that each district costs.
And there are some extra points for certain criteria hit.
There are 8 main characters,
although the expanded set has got more..
1 Assassin, 2 Thief, 3 Magician, 4 King,
5 Bishop, 6 Merchant, 7 Architect, 8 Warlord
A player's turn is determined by which character that's choosen.
And each character has got special abilities which makes the
game really interesting. And if you play the game, you'll realise
why the characters are numbered in this order.
Everyone will get five district cards and two gold at the start.
(p/s: the gold look more like strepsils honey lemon.. muahhaha)
At your turn, you can:
1) take 2 gold or draw 2 district cards from the deck and keep 1 for building
2) perform character's ability
3) build district
Building districts are according to the number of gold it costs.
And after everyone play their turn in one round,
the characters will be shuffled and everyone gets to
choose another character again...
And the further the game goes..
the more you'll see people scheming against each other ;)
A nice game to play if you have a bunch of scheming friends :P
Requires a bit of brain work (but not too much in my opinion)
And this game tells us.............. the King is not always powerful.. ;)
Do try it if you happen to visit any board game cafe :)
