Overview

The Goal: To have the most money at the end (just like in real life).

Rounds

Each round consists of two phases:

1. Draft phase - one-at-a-time, select face-up cards from the Road, or face-down cards from the supply decks
2. Build phase - play cards into your Village to build production chains, increasing the amount of money you can make in the Markets

Income

In addition to the phases, there are two special events, the Markets, that happen after the Build phase in the round that they are triggered. These two Markets are the main ways in which money (the central resource and victory point in the game) is generated in the game:

1. First Market - occurs once the first and second road supply decks are emptied; during this Market, money is generated in two ways:
   1. players receive income equal to the sum of all gold symbol values visible on their cards
   2. players also receive income for all money placed on cards used to unlock others (but the money itself on the cards is not removed at this time)
2. Second Market - occurs once all of the road supply decks have been emptied; during this Market, money is generated in three ways (the first two of which are basically the same as in the First Market):
   1. players receive income again equal the sum of all visible gold symbol values printed on cards
   2. additionally, players receive income for all visible silver symbol values (which are calculated based on other cards in their playing area)
   3. players also finally take all the money placed on unlocker cards off of those cards and into their money supply

After the Second Market is completed, the game is over: the player with the most money in their possession is the winner!
