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).
Action Options
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
Special Actions
Unique, powerful one-time actions
Placed on your player board, replacing any existing special
Examples include:
• Place 3 tokens at Cabaret
• Swap Influence tokens with opponent
• Advance in Finance and place in Racetrack
• Draw multiple Special Action tiles and choose one
Bonuses
Some spaces grant bonuses when you land on or cover them
Bonuses include:
• Swap characters
• Extra placement
• Influence swap
• Advance Ascension
• Restrict opponent's next action.
