Overview

After 4 rounds have the most points

Each game uses a specific module, so the rules which follow are just the basic rules, then refer to the module specific rules for adjustments


Round Phases

Each round is split into three phases:

Choice Phase

Planning Phase

Production Phase


Choice Phase

In each turn, one player Offers and the other Selects, then roles are reversed

Two random cards are displayed in the offer area to start things off

The Offer player chooses two cards from their hand and adds them to one or both of the displays (i.e. now either both have 2 cards or one has 1 and the other 3)

The Select player picks a group of cards and takes them all into their Selection area (NOT their hand)

Now there will be an empty space, the new Offer player can choose to add a card to both stacks or just to one and in doing so may choose to leave a stack empty

Likewise, the Select player may choose to "take" the empty stack if it exists

When both players have emptied their hands and finished that turn, the phase ends

Discard any remaining cards from the display

Trap Tokens: Each round you have 2 trap tokens which allow you to play a card facedown when you are the Offer player, after which no one may look at this card even when it is selected it remains facedown until later


Planning Phase

If you selected any facedown cards, these can now be revealed

For each individual card you gained, you can pick one of two options out of Construct or Recycle (i.e. some cards may be Recycled whilst others are Constructed)

Treasure cards can ONLY be Recycled, likewise Calamity cards can ONLY be Constructed

If you Construct a card, put it into your Under Construction Area

If you Recycle a card, discard it and take the depicted resources and either add them to a card Under Construction or add them to your Alchemy

If adding resources to a card Under Construction completes it, it will now be able to produce for you this round

Once both players have decided what to do with all their cards, the phase ends


Production Phase

Each resource is produced in sequence and independently, first the white Materials, then the purple Population, then the yellow Gold, and finally the blue Exploration

First count the quantity of that resource shown in both your Dutchy and completed Constructions

Second, whoever produced the most of the current resource either collect a Soldier from your Training area OR if none are there gain a soldier to your training area

Finally, take the resources you produced and assign them either to Cards Under Construction or to your Alchemy

Note: Resources previously assigned can't be moved around

If this completes a card Under Construction, discard all resources on it, gain the completion benefit, then add it to your Dutchy

Note: You can complete multiple cards with the same name

Repeat the above until all resource types have been actioned at which point start a new round and swap turn order


Special Features

The Alchemy is a place you've been storing resources, once there are 5 there, trade them for a red Krystallium (wild resource) which can be used at any time

Note: Some cards REQUIRE Krystallium specifically, and also some require Soldiers

At any time, you can also scrap a card under construction if you no longer want to complete it, you gain its Recycling bonus as if you chose to originally Recycle it, however any resources previously assigned to the card are discarded


Game End

The game ends at the end of the 4th round

Add up all unconditional points

Gain points for conditions e.g. 2 points per card X

LOSE points for Calamities

The player with the most points wins!

If tied, the player who constructed the most cards wins!

If still tied, the player with the most soldiers wins!
