Overview
X
Turn
The turn consists of 3 parts
Call
Action
End
Call
The player with the Call token picks an opponent and declares a card (value and colour) they want from them
Step 1
If the opponent has this card, they hand it over
If the opponent has cards of either the suit or value declared, they choose one from these to hand over
If the opponent has nothing the Caller wants, a random card is handed to the Caller from the Opponent's hand
Step 2
If the card received is not in the Caller's play area, they add it to it
If the card received is in the Caller's play area, they discard it and take a gold nugget
Step 3
Check the card, played or discarded, to see what actions are available in the Action phase
Action
All players take one of the two possible actions depicted on the card given to the Caller
If an action triggers another action, only the player who triggered it gets to perform the bonus action
Once all players have finished any actions or bonus actions, move on to End
End
Check to see if anyone has values 1 2 and 3 in one colour
If a player does, they discard all three and marks the corresponding flag in a region adjacent to a region which they already hold a flag
Note that mountains prevent adjacency
Then, on the rewards track, mark the first empty box in that area
This is repeated until no player has a 1-2-3 in any colour
After which, all players draw up to 3 cards if they had less than 3
Check to see if anyone has the 7th badge on their track
If not, the caller token is passed leftwards, and a new round begins
Cards and Actions in Detail
There are 6 colours:
Red Dynamite and Green Money link to the Nugget Action
Grey Hats and Purple Beer link to the Card Action
Blue Hoods and Orange Fur link to the Check Action
Nugget Action - EITHER Take one Nugget OR Play a card by paying its Nugget Cost (top left) so 1 or 2 or 3
Card Action - EITHER Draw 3 Cards OR Discard 2 Cards of the same suit to play another card
Check Action - EITHER Tick off a Region Leg connected either to another Leg or a flag OR Tick of a Railroad Leg which matches a previously ticked off Region Leg, when you reach a junction keep going on just one the other is now blocked for you
Roadmap in Detail
This is made up of 3 main features Flags, Legs (look like bits of paper) and connected paths (dashed lines)
Legs MUST be connected to either other Legs or Flags to mark them
A Leg can NOT be marked if the Flag of that region has not yet been marked
To mark a Flag, an adjacent region (not blocked by mountains) must also have its flag marked
When you mark a Leg, immediately gain its benefit, which mostly relate to the normal actions as described above or could progress you on one of the icons on the lower part of the Rewards Track
The icon on the lefthand pale poking out parchment shows your player icon (Fire, Wheel, Horseshoe, Barrel)
The flag colours indicate what that region is generally good at, without having to analyse it in detail
Red Flag Towns are starting areas
Green Flag Forests have a good balance of Points and Legs
Yellow Flag Deserts are high in points but low in Legs
Blue Flag Lakes are high in Legs and low in Points
A region's points are earnt once all flags and legs in that region are marked
