Overview

Obtain a variety of different Estates over the course of 16 rounds in order to be the richest Estate holder

Setup

As part of setup, place your Lord on an empty Plot tile on the top row

Turn

Before anyone takes their turn, discard the unselected plot tiles from the current row

Turn order is based on your Lords position in current row, leftmost going earliest

Move your Lord to an empty plot on the next row (the lowest row wraps round to the 1st row) and take the plot your Lord came from and place it on your Estate of the same type

After placing the tile in the associated Estate gain the Effect then the Income of that Estate

When everyone has taken a turn, refill the now empty row with new tiles (If you run out of draw tiles, depending on player count, either simply reshuffle the discards OR add new tiles in from the Orange Deck)

On the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th rounds you will also trigger the active Event
