  • Elvenfolk: Hunter x5, Loremaster x2, Village x1, Warrior x2

Game Turn

On your turn, you may play the action cards in your hand or use the effect of any card you previously played on the table. You may perform any of the activities below in any order you want:

  • produce resources
  • acquire new action cards
  • build settlements
  • combat
  • develop achivements

End Game Trigger

The end of the game is triggered when either of the following happens:

  • a player places their last Settlement
  • a player has no Settlements on the board

Should either of the above conditions be triggered, play until the end of the round so that all players have had an equal number of turns. The game is then over.

Victory Points

  • VP value of each developed technology; VP value of each developed wonder (up to a maximum of 7 points), plus 3 VPs if the player completed their secret wonder
  • VP value of the action cards in the player's deck
  • 1 VP for each territory with at least one of their Settlements, plus the value of the VP marker in that territory, if present
  • 1 VP for each captured opponent's Settlement
  • 1 VP for each 3 points of captured Conquest Markers (sum their value, divide by 3 and round down)

The player with the most VPs is the winner of the game. Break ties using the scores in categories in the order indicated above (that is, technologies first, then wonders, and so on).

FAQ

1. Why can't I archive my card with Writing?

You will be prompted to archive your card at the end of your turn.

2. How can I view my discard pile?

You can look at your discard pile by hovering your mouse over your discard pile (the grey icon) on the side. Note that you can only view your discard pile on your turn.
