Set-Up:

At the start of the game, each player will be given a starting card. This card has two sides and the player chooses which side of the card to play. This starter card is immediately played in the centre of their board.

Each player is then given 3 cards in their starting hand (two resource cards and one gold card which we will explain later).

Two common objectives are drawn which both players can complete throughout the game by satisfying the conditions on the card. The player is awarded points if they satisfy the condition and the amount of points is indicated by the number on the top of the card. Note that all players may score points if they have satisfied the conditions. Then each play is given a choice of two secret objectives which behave similarly to the common objectives except they are unique to that player (and hidden from the other player). Points from objectives are scored at the end of the game.

How to Play:

At any given time, the amount of visible symbols on your player board is the resources you have access to. You will use the coloured symbols to build better cards later in the game and the gold symbols are for points!

Each turn a player will:

1. Place a card from their hand onto their game board. You will have noticed that some of the corners of cards are ‘cut out’ and may or may not contain a symbol. When placing a card you must place it so a ‘cut out’ corner on the card you play matches a ‘cut out’ corner of a card already on your board thus covering up a corner on the card on the board. Be careful, this can reduce your resources if you cover up a symbol! (Tip: placing cards with less ‘cut out’ corners reduces your possible options for possible places to put down new cards later!)

2. Choose a new card to add to your hand. There are six possible choices here: two face up resource cards, two face up gold cards or try your luck and draw a resource or gold card off their respective deck. The resource cards give you access to more resources that you will need to be able to play the gold cards later. The gold cards require resources to play which is indicated on the bottom of the card, they give you points indicated on the top of the card and give you access to the gold symbols. The gold symbols score points based off certain gold cards: e.g. 1 point per bottle.

End of game:

The game ends as soon as a player reaches 20 points on their board. Then, points from the common and secret objectives are added. The player with the most points wins. If there is a tie, the player with the most points from objectives wins.


I hope you found this helpful and hope you enjoy the game!
