Objective

Win by either:

• Collecting 3 characters of the same suit, OR

• Collecting 1 character from each of the 5 suits

If no one achieves a victory condition, the player with the most Prestige points from characters and special actions wins.

Turn Overview

Players alternate turns. On your turn:

• Place the Action token on a different action space (you can't repeat the last action).

• Perform the listed actions in the specified order.

• At the end of the turn, check if you've rallied any characters.

If a victory condition is met, the game ends immediately.

Victory Conditions

Game ends immediately if:

• You have 3 characters of the same suit

• You have 1 character from each of the 5 suits

Otherwise, the game ends immediately when the last character of any location is rallied.

End Game Scoring

Add up Prestige points on all your characters

+1 for an unused Special Action tile on your board

+1 per discarded Special Action tile during the game

If tied, whoever has the most characters wins. If still tied, play again.

Location Rules

Cabaret

Place Influence tokens to form a continuous orthogonal path from one edge to the other.

You may also rally a character by occupying all 4 matching circle spaces.

Tokens must always be placed orthogonally adjacent to another token (any color).

Finance Center

Advance your Ascension token upward.

If you reach or pass a character, you rally it.

If you're behind your opponent → move 2 spaces

If tied/ahead → move 1 space

Racetrack

Place tokens from left to right on available tracks.

When a track fills, the player with the majority takes the character.

Return tokens; that track is now closed (overlay tile).

Each main action specifies what to do and in what order:

Place Influence in Cabaret (1 or 2 tokens)

Advance in Finance and/or place in Racetrack

Each turn must use a new action space
