Object of the Game

Be the first to score ten (10+) or more points with your buildings and victory points you acquire.

First Turn

On the first turn you may trade up to all of your coins for basic goods (wood, grain, clay, stone, and/or cotton) as long as they are available. The first player starts with three (3), second four (4), third (5) etc.

Game-play

On your turn you must choose to either Produce or Trade' You have a set hand limit of seven (7) cards in your hand.

• Produce a single basic good (wood, wheat, clay, stone, and/or cotton)

• Produce by expending a good (or goods) to pay the cost of the more valuable good

• Trade a number of goods for other goods / buildings of equal (or lesser) cost

• Additionally, you may also perform a building's action once per turn - before or after you produce or trade

Expended "trade" goods, go into the discard pile to the right of the deck and replacement cards are placed in the freed spots. Basic goods replenish at the bottom of the board.

After your turn it proceeds to the next player.

This repeats until the winning condition are met. A player has ten (10+) or more victory points.

Trading

Each good has a value in the bottom center-right, this is its trade value/cost. This value (and any other cards) may be used to purchase at any trade value. Any items to the left also indicate what items can be consumed to "produce" the good in which case the Produce action should be taken.

Producing

A good may be produced if it is on the left side of the board (separated by the deck) by using another good (or sometimes goods). the right of the deck indicates discarded cards, and while the discard may be checked you may not produce an item that is there Optionally you may always produce for a single (basic good) available on the bottom row - this is inefficient but sometimes necessary If you have multiple choices to produce, you can only select one to produce per turn, however some buildings allow you to do additional actions

Buildings

Most buildings have an additional ability (a limited extra trade/consume phase). If the conditions are met on the bottom of the card you will have the option to play the card either at the beginning and end of the turn - but you may only perform the action once per turn.
