Each player takes a player board
in their own color.
Take the goods out of their box and shuffle all of
them face down. Place them randomly face up on
the Road and Waterway Spaces on the game board.
With 4 or 5 players, all spaces are occupied.
With 3 players, the spaces showing a 4 remain free.
With 2 players, the spaces showing a 3 remain free
as well. The remaining goods are divided up by type
and put back into the corresponding compartments
of their box.
Beneficial Deeds
Take out the Place tiles I, shuffle them
well and place them face down. Now
randomly select 13 and place the stack
next to the game board. Place the
remaining Place tiles back into the box.
Do the same for the Place tiles of
category II so you have 13 tiles of each
category.
When playing with five players, you
need all the followers.
In a 4-player game, remove 2 each
of the Farmers, Boatmen, Craftsmen
and Traders, also 3 each of the
Knights, Scholars and Monks and
4 Gear wheels. Place them in an
empty storage compartment of the
box and put them back in their
respective box at the end of the
game.
In a 3-player game, remove 4 each
of the Farmers, Boatmen, Craftsmen
and Traders, also 6 each of the
Knights, Scholars and Monks and
4 of the Gear wheels. You also
remove 6 random goods. The spaces
labeled “4” on the game board are
not occupied.
In a 2-player game, remove 6 each
of the Farmers, Boatmen, Craftsmen
and Traders, 9 each of the Knights,
Scholars and Monks and 4 Gear
wheels. Remove 12 face-down goods
and do not use the spaces marked
“3” and “4” on the game board.
Divide the remaining 17 tiles into 3 piles according to
their backs A, B and C and shuffle each pile. Then place
the “C” tiles face down on the hourglass space of the
game board, the “B” tiles on top, the “A” tiles on top
and the starting card on top.
Each player places his
Merchant figure in Orléans.

Goal of the Game
You are trying to achieve dominance in various areas in medieval France. You will get goods, coins, and victory points via production,
trade, development, and by committing to the common good.
Course of Play
The youngest player receives the Start Player Token.
The game is played over 18 rounds, with each round being comprised of 7 phases.
Phase 1
Hour Glass: The Start Player draws the topmost Hour Glass tile from the stack and turns it face up. The
Hour Glass tiles determine the length of the game. The game ends at the end of the round in which the
18th and last tile is drawn. Each Hour Glass tile also introduces an event that will affect the current round.
There are 6 different types of events
(see “The Events in Detail”) . Except Pilgrimage, events are resolved in
Phase 6: “Event”.
Phase 2
Census: Determine who has the most and who has the fewest Farmers. The player whose marker is furthest ahead on the Farmers
track receives 1 coin from the supply. If there is a tie, no player receives the coin. The player whose marker is furthest behind on the
track must pay 1 coin to the supply. If there is a tie, no player has to pay the coin.
Please note: In the 2-player game, the player who is behind on the track does
not have to pay a coin. The player who is ahead still receives a coin.
Phase 3
Followers: Draw Followers from your Followers Bag and place them on the Market. You may draw a number of Followers from your
bag equal to or lower than the number indicated by your marker on the Knights track. At the beginning of the game, this number is
4. Place the drawn Followers on the Market Spaces of your player board. You may not draw more Followers than you can fit in your
Market.
(Note: Followers that you do not use remain on your Market, thus taking up space that you might need when drawing tiles.)
Phase 4
Planning: Starting at the same time, all players plan their actions for the current round by placing Followers from their Market to
their Action Spaces. You may leave Followers on your Market to use them in subsequent rounds.
Once done, you point out the end of your planning; from this point on, you are no longer allowed to change your mind. In the case
of doubt, this happens clockwise in turn, starting with the start player.
Each Place provides a specific action and requires a certain set of Followers to activate.
(The City Hall as well as some Place tiles require only a single Follower for activation, others none at all.)
Start Player Token
Example: The blue player receives a coin
and the red player must pay a coin.
Example: The green player may draw 4 Followers from their
bag. The yellow and blue player may each draw 6 Followers,
and the red player may even draw 8 Followers from their bag.
2 PLAYERS

– 7 –
Place the required Followers on the corresponding Action Spaces of the Place you want to activate. A Place is considered activated
as soon as all of its Action Spaces have a Follower. You can carry out the action during the following Action Phase or a future one.
You don’t have to place all required Followers during the same Planning Phase. You may place some now and the rest in subsequent
rounds. As long as you have not placed all of the required Followers, you have not activated the action and may not play it.
Phase 5
Actions: You may carry out the actions of the Places you activated, i.e. where you placed a Follower
(or Gear wheel) on every
required space.
Beginning with the Start Player and in clockwise order, each player may carry out 1 action or pass. If you pass, you cannot carry out
any more actions during that round.
After playing an action, remove the Followers from that action
(e.g. the Boatman and the Craftsman from the Farm House) and put
them back into your bag.
Please note: Gear wheels remain on the Action Spaces where you placed them until the end of the game.
You may carry out your actions in any order. You are not required to carry out an activated action. You may pass even if you could
carry out more actions. The Action Phase ends when all players have passed. If you pass, you cannot participate in the current Action
Phase anymore. Activated actions that you did not use this round remain activated and can be used in a subsequent round. Do not
remove Followers from actions you have not used yet.
Phase 6
Event: Resolve the event shown on the Hour Glass tile of this round.
(The event affects all players. See below for details on the events.)
Phase 7
Start Player: The current Start Player passes the Start Player Token to the player to his left.
Example: You need a boatman and a craftsman to
receive another farmer.

The Actions/Places
Every Place represents a specific action. Your player board features the most common Places. As the game progresses, you can
acquire additional Places
(see below, “Trader - Expanding the City” ) .
You can play an action if it is activated (all spaces occupied). After playing an action, you remove the Followers (but not the Gear
wheels)
used to activate it and return them to your Followers Bag.
The Places and their actions in detail:
Farm House
Take a Farmer from the farmer’s supply and put him into your
bag.
Then advance your marker one space on the Farmers track and
receive the depicted goods. The position of your marker on this
track also plays a role during Phase 2: “Census”.
Village
In the Village, you can receive another Boatman, Craftsman, or Trader. You can choose one of the
following actions
(Boatman, Craftsman, Trader) :
Boatman
Take a Boatman from the supply and put him into
your Followers Bag. Then advance one space on the
Boatmen track and receive the depicted number
of coins. On the last space of that track, the first
player to get there receives a Citizen instead of
coins.
Craftsman
Take a Craftsman from the supply and put him
into your Followers Bag. Then advance one space
on the Craftsmen track and receive a Gear wheel.
Put the Gear wheel next to your player board. You
may only use it after you pass.
Technology: You can place the Gear wheel on an Action Space of your choice to replace the required Follower for the
rest of the game. You do not remove the Gear wheel after you played the action. It remains on its space until the end
of the game.
Constraints:
- Starting from the first space on the Craftsman track you are allowed to use Gear wheels to replace Farmers.
- Starting from the second space on the Craftsman track you are allowed to use Gear wheels to replace any Followers
except Monks.
- Monks can never be replaced with Gear wheels.
- You may not place more than 1 Gear wheel at one Place.
- You may not place a Gear wheel at a Place that only requires a single Follower.
- You may not move a Gear wheel after you have placed it.

Trader
Take a Trader from the supply and put him into
your Followers Bag. Then advance one space on the
Traders track and expand your city with a Place
tile.
Expanding the City: You may choose a Place tile. There are two types of
Place tiles, I and II. When you advance on the Traders track for the first time,
you may only choose a tile from stack I. Every other time you advance on
the track, you may choose a tile from stack I or II. Place the chosen Place tile
next to your player board. You now have another Place you can activate or
use its special ability.
Note: The players may look through the stacks of Place tiles at any time. See
the appendix for details on the different Place tiles.
University
Take a Scholar from the supply and put him into your Followers
Bag. Then advance one space on the Scholars track and receive
the depicted number of Development Points. For each
Development Point you receive during the game, advance your
marker one space on the Development track.
Castle
Take a Knight from the supply and put him into your Followers
Bag. Then advance one space on the Knights track. The Knights
track indicates how many Followers you may draw from your
bag and place on your Market in Phase 3. At the beginning
of the game, you may draw 4 Followers each round. You can
increase this number by recruiting Knights.
Note: When you get your fourth Knight, this number (7) does
not increase, but you may receive a Citizen if you are the first
player to get there.
Monastery
Take a Monk from the supply and put him into your Followers Bag. There
is no additional bonus like with the other actions. Monks can be used in
place of any of the other Follower.
(However, the inverse is not true. You
cannot use any of the other Followers or a Gear Wheel in place of a Monk.)
Note: Once your marker moves onto the last
space of a track, you may no longer take the
corresponding action.

Ship
Move your Merchant from his current location along a Waterway (blue
connection) to an adjacent town. If there is a Good on the way, you may take
it. If there are multiple Goods, you may take one of them. Place the Good
next to your player board.

Wagon
This action is similar to the "Ship" action, but rather than moving along a
Waterway, move your Merchant along a Road (brown connection).

Guildhall
Build a Trading Station in the town in which your Merchant is present if
there is no Trading Station in that town already (regardless of which player it
belongs to). Each town can only have one Trading Station.

Exception: In Orléans, each player may build one Trading Station.

Scriptorium
You receive 1 Development Point. Advance your marker one space on the
Development track.

Town Hall
During the Planning Phase, you can place 1 or 2 Followers in the Town
Hall. (The Town Hall does not require both spaces to be occupied in order to
activate.) When using the "Town Hall" action, move one or both Followers
from the Town Hall to any free appropriate spaces on the "Beneficial
Deeds" board. You receive the depicted reward (1, 2, or 3 coins, and in
case of Canalization 1 coin or 1 Development Point) for each Follower.
When you complete a Beneficial Deed (i.e. you place a follower on the
last remaining unoccupied space), you receive the Citizen of that Beneficial
Deed.
You cannot replace the Followers required for Beneficial Deeds by other
followers (such as Monks). You must always use the exact Followers as
shown on the spaces. Followers used for Beneficial Deeds remain there for
the rest of the game.

Please note: You may not place the Followers of your
color (i.e. your initial Farmer, Boatman, Craftsman,
and Trader) in the Town Hall.

The Development track
Some spaces of the Development track show coins or contain a Citizen. If you move
your marker onto or pass a space with coins, you receive the depicted amount of coins
from the supply. If you are the first player to move onto or pass a space with a Citizen,
you receive him.
Development Status Spaces indicate your state of development. If you move onto or
pass such a space, your Development Status immediately gets the depicted value. At the
beginning of the game, this value is 1.
Note: Your Development Status may affect events such as “Income”
(you receive a
number of coins equal to your Development Status)
, Place tiles such as the Hospital, as well
as the victory point value of your Citizens and Trading Stations at the end of the game.
End of the Game and Scoring
The game ends after 18 rounds. Before you proceed with the scoring, the player who has built the most Trading
Stations receives the remaining Citizen. If there is a tie, no player receives it. Then determine your final scores. You
score victory points (VP) for:
Coins: 1 VP per coin
Goods: Brocade: 5 VP
Wool: 4 VP
Wine: 3 VP
Cheese: 2 VP
Grain: 1 VP
Trading Stations and Citizens: Each Trading Station you have built and every
Citizen you have collected is worth a number of VP equal to your Development
Status.
(Example: Klemens has built 5 Trading Stations and collected 2 Citizens. His
current Development Status is 4, as indicated by the Development track.
He receives (5+2) x 4 = 28 VP.)
The player with the most VP wins. In case of a tie, the player further ahead on the Development track wins. If still tied, there are
multiple winners.
Torture (Bankruptcy)
Every time you must pay something (e.g. during Census or Taxes) and you cannot do so, you must undergo torture. You must replace
every missing coin with something else from this list:
- a Trading Station
(an already built one or one from your supply)
- a Follower (draw a random one from your bag; as long as you draw a Follower
of your color, put the Follower back into the bag and draw again)
- a Development Point (move your marker on the Development track one space to the left,
but not onto or past a space with coins)
- a Good (1 Good per coin)
- a Place tile
- a Gear wheel
You may replace missing coins with any mix of items from this list
(e.g. if you owe 5 coins, you may replace them with 1 Follower,
2 Trading Stations, and 2 Development Points).
All items lost in this process are removed from the game. Only Development Points can be re-gained.

The Events in Detail
Pilgrimage:
When the “Pilgrimage“ event is drawn, you may not recruit Monks this

You receive coins according to your current Development Status.
A: 3 coins per Development Status
B: 2 coins per Development Status
C: 1 coin per Development Status
Harvest:
You may return food items

If you can pay neither food items nor coins, you must undergo torture

(see above)
. You return food items to the Goods Market storage boxes.
A: 1 food item or 5 coins
B: 2 food items or 5 coins per missing food item
C: 3 food items or 5 coins per missing food item
Taxes:
You count the number of goods you have and pay taxes accordingly.

C: 1 coin per 3 goods
Trading Day:
On Trading Day, you receive coins per Trading Station you have built.
A: 3 coins per Trading Station

to the supply
(it becomes available again) . Do not move your marker back on the
corresponding track. You cannot lose the Followers of your color
(i.e., your initial
Farmer, Boatman, Craftsman or Trader)
. If you draw one of them, lucky you! In this
case, you do not lose a Follower in this round.

General Rules of the Game
Running Out of Game Materials:
Followers, Gear wheels, and Goods are limited in this game. You cannot gain one of those if it is not available anymore. When you
run out of a particular kind of those components, you can no longer play an action that provides them. Events may result in certain
materials becoming available again
(Harvest, Plague) . When this happens, you can play the corresponding actions again. Coins,
however, are not limited. If there are no further coins available, you may help yourself by using other materials.
Checking on Your Followers
At any time during the game, you may look into your bag to see how many and which Followers you have in there.
(When you finish
looking, shuffle the Followers in your bag so that you cannot draw particular Followers on purpose.)
Empty Roads or Waterways
You may use empty Roads and Waterways. You just do not receive any goods.
Marked Followers
The marked Followers of your color
(which you received during setup) always remain with you (either in your bag or on your board).
You cannot use them for Beneficial Deeds nor lose them to the Plague nor pay with them during Torture.
Placed Followers
You cannot move a Follower from one Action Space to another. However, when drawing Followers from your bag during Phase 3:
“Followers”, for each Follower that you decline to draw, you may move a Follower from an Action Space to your Market.
(
Example: Stefan may draw 6 Followers. He only draws 4 Followers and moves 2 Followers from Action Spaces to his Market.)
Payments
Pay coins into the general supply and take coins from there when you receive them.

The expansion “Trade & Intrigue” adds more possibilities and variations to the base game. You can either add them
to the already existing elements or replace game components such as the Events or Beneficial Deeds. Orders and
the Intrigue board will totally change the feeling of the game.
23 Order cards
34 Hour Glass tiles
1 double-sided Beneficial Deeds “Trade”/”Intrigue”
“Orders” provide a new path to generate victory points by sending you on
mercantile expeditions, paving the way for new successful strategies.
“New Events” add a lot of variety to the base game, forcing you to
adapt to the constant stream of challenges, benefits, and restrictions.
The Beneficial Deeds
“Trade” introduces new
rewards to the game,
making the game more
dynamic.
The “Intrigue” boosts the interaction in this game
by adding ways to mess with your opponents.
You can add each module to the base game individually or use them in any combination.

Orders
Setup
Shuffle the Order cards and place them
face down in a pile next to the game board.
Draw 5 cards from the top of the pile and
place them face up next to each other.
Course of Play
Each Order shows a town and some goods that are to be delivered to that town. Whenever your
merchant is in the required town after one of your actions, you may immediately afterward fulfill
an Order. Pay the depicted goods and take the corresponding Order card. Immediately turn over a
new Order card and place it face up with the other Order cards. Remove the delivered goods from
play—do not return them to the supply.
IMPORTANT: After you fulfill an Order, you must pass, i.e. fulfilling an Order is the last
action you take that round!
Game End and Scoring
At the end of the game, add the victory points on your fulfilled Order cards to your score.
Events
Setup
Do not use the Hour Glass tiles from the base game. Instead, use the 34 new Hour Glass tiles.
Set the 2 “Silentium” tiles aside. Sort the remaining tiles by the letter on their back side (A, B, C, and D). Shuffle each set of tiles
separately and place them face down in individual piles. Assemble a stack of 18 Hour Glass tiles as follows:
Place a “Silentium” tile face down on the space for Hour Glass tiles on the game board, thus initiating the
stack of Hour Glass tiles. Take 4 tiles from the top of the D pile and place them face down on top of the
stack. Repeat this process with the C, B, and A tiles in that order. Finally, place the second “Silentium” tile on
top of the stack.
Variant: Instead of placing a “Silentium” tile at the bottom of the stack, use the “Peasant Uprising” tile
from the D pile. Next, place 4 random D tiles on top of that, and so on. Consequently, the last round will
have the “Peasant Uprising” instead of the “Silentium” event.
Course of Play
In phase 1, turn over an Hour Glass tile as usual. Normally, this event will be resolved in phase 6. Some Hour Glass tiles show the
symbol
. These events may occur at different points in the round, or they may even affect the entire round.
The following applies to all events that require paying coins: if you cannot pay, you must undergo torture according to the torture
rules of the base game.

Course of Play
The new Beneficial Deeds follow the same rules as usual (in particular, you may not place any Followers of your color there, see base
game rules).
Important: The bonuses of “Towing Service”, “Town Charter” and “Navigation” may be of no benefit to you, if the
circumstances are not right. You may still send Followers there, even if you do not gain anything from them. If you complete a
Beneficial Deed whose bonus you cannot use, you still get the Citizen.
The Beneficial Deeds in Detail
Alchemy: You may place Followers of any type here. After you place a Follower, you may immediately draw one from your bag
and place him on an action space of your choice, on your board or one of your Place tiles. If you activate an action by this, you
may use it this round already (on a later turn). This way, you may possibly activate an action multiple times that round. If you
place two Followers on Alchemy, you immediately draw 2 Followers from your bag and place them on action spaces, possibly
activating actions. If you place the last Follower on Alchemy, you also get a Citizen.
Court of Lay Assessors: You may place Followers of any type here. You get 1 coin for each Follower you place. If you
place the last Follower, you may immediately carry out an action of your choice (from your board or one of your Place tiles),
regardless of whether or not the action is activated. Do not remove any Followers from that action.
Thanksgiving/Sheep Farming: Take the goods from the space on which you place a Follower. If you place the last Follower,
you get 2 coins from the supply.
Coinage: You get 3 coins for each Follower you place here. If you place the last Follower, you get an additional 3 coins from
the supply.
Research: Advance 2 spaces on the Development track for each Follower you place here. If you place the last Follower, you
may advance an additional 3 spaces.
Towing Service: For each Boatman you place here, you may immediately move your Merchant over Water (and collect a good,
if possible). If your Merchant is not in a town adjacent to Water, you do not move your Merchant. If you place the last Follower,
you get a Citizen.
Architecture: For each Follower you place here, you get 1 Citizen. If you place the last Follower, you may immediately—
without spending another action—build a Trading Station where your Merchant currently is at, unless there is a Trading Station
already. Otherwise the action is forfeit. If you have the Tavern, you may build a Trading Station even if there is another player’s
Trading Station in that town, regardless whether or not you have a Follower in your Tavern. Other Place tiles do not affect
this bonus action!
Town Charter: For each Follower you place here, you get 1 Place tile according to your position on the Trader track. If your
cube has advanced 1 space, you get a Place tile of your choice from category I. If your cube has advanced 2 or more spaces,
you get any Place tile of your choice. Otherwise the action is forfeit. If you place the last Follower, you get a Citizen.
Navigation: For each Follower you place here, you get 1 Gear wheel from those at Navigation according to your position
on the Craftsmen track. The general rules for Gear wheels apply: If your cube has advanced 1 space, you must place the Gear
wheel on a Farmer space. If your cube has advanced 2 or more spaces, you may place the Gear wheel on any space—except
Monk spaces and Place tiles with only 1 action space. Otherwise the action is forfeit. If you place the last Follower, you get a
Citizen.
Beneficial Deeds „Intrigue“
Setup
Do not use the Beneficial Deeds “Base game” board. Instead, use the
“Intrigue” board.
In a 2- and 3-player game, use the white markers to cover the rightmost
space of each nefarious character. Additionally, in a 2-player game,
“Arsonist” and “Spy” are not available at all.

Course of Play
As with the Beneficial Deeds, you can send Followers to various nefarious characters in order to gain an advantage or carry out
an action that messes with your opponents. The order in which you place Followers on the available spaces below each nefarious
character does not matter—for instance, you are not required to place Followers from left to right.
You may not place Followers of your color on the “Intrigue” board. Even if you cannot use an action for some reason, you may still
place a Follower there; you simply ignore the action.
Bribing
If you are being targeted by the active player’s action, you may bribe the active player, offering them coins and/or goods. If the active
player takes your bribe, you do not suffer the effects of that action.
The Nefarious Characters in Detail
Fraud: Choose another player and exchange 1 of their
good (of your choice) with 1 of yours. Completion bonus:
1 good of your choice from the supply.
Arsonist: You may remove a Trading Station from the
town where your Merchant is at. Return it to its owner.
Completion bonus: build 1 Trading Station where your
Merchant currently is at.
Kidnapper: Take 1 coin from the supply and return another
player’s Merchant to Orléans. Completion bonus: 1 Citizen.
Torturer: Take 1 coin from the supply. All other players
must get rid of 1 thing according to the torture rules.
Completion bonus: 1 Citizen.
Hangman: Take 2 coins from the supply. Choose another
player who loses 1 of their Followers. To do so, they must
draw 1 Follower from their bag—as they would during
the Plague. If they draw a Follower of their color, nothing
happens. Otherwise they must return the drawn Follower to
the supply. Completion bonus: 1 Citizen.
Saboteur: Take 1 coin from the supply and choose another
player. Remove 1 of their Followers from an action space.
The other player must return that Follower to their bag. If
by this an action gets deactivated, the other player may not
take it this round. Completion bonus: 1 Citizen.
Spy: Steal a Gear wheel from another player’s board and
place it on the exact same space on your board. If by this
you activate an action, you may take it later this round. If
you deactivate the other player’s action, they may not take
it this round. Completion bonus: 1 Gear wheel. (Place is by
using the general technology rules.)
Tax Collector: Each other player must pay you 2 coins. If
any of these players doesn‘t have enough coins, they must
pay you all coins they got. Completion bonus: 2 coins from
the supply.
Traitor: Advance your cube 1 space on a track of your
choice. Set back another player’s cube on that track
1 space. To do so, the other player’s cube must have been
ahead of yours before the action. Neither that player nor
you get or lose any Followers or bonuses. If you choose the
Development track and set back the other player’s cube behind a space with coins, that player will gain those coins
again when they reach that space again. Completion bonus:
1 Citizen.

Mon Dieu, quelle horreur! The inhabitants of ORLÉANS have been hit hard: The plague
has come upon them, bringing substantial suffering and misery to the population. There are
many casualties to mourn, and even the clergy has little to offer in the way of relief. Only the Plague
Doctor can give some relief and hope to the long-suffering people, but in the end, everybody is on their own
in trying to protect their Followers as best they can...
New events, which also add Corpses to the population in (almost) every round, mean great challenges. On top of that, initially
laid-out Plague cards aggravate the situation. Only Indulgence cards can provide remedy – but first, their conditions need to
be met.

Set-up of the Game
Set up the base game of Orléans as usual, with the following changes:
Lay out the Benificial Deeds board with the side “The Plague” face up.
Use the 26 Hour Glass tiles from this expansion, the Hour Glass tiles from the base game are not needed..
Put the two Hour Glass tiles “Outbreak” and “Victory over Plague” aside. Sort the
remaining tiles by letter (A, B, C, and D). Mix each stack and put it on the table,
face down. Now assemble the Hour Glass tiles as follows: Place the “Victory over
Plague” tile face down on the space for the Hour Glass tiles. Take the 4 top tiles
from stack “D” and put them face down on top of that tile. Do the same with the
stack of “C” tiles, then with “B,” and finally, with “A.” Lastly, put the “Outbreak”
tile on the top of the stack, which now consists of 18 tiles.
Place all Corpses on the table within reach of all players.
Separate the Indulgence cards by their backs and shuffle each pile.
Give each player 1 random card with “A” on the back and 1 card with “B”.
Everybody looks secretly at their two Indulgence cards and puts them face down
in front of them. Put the remaining “A” and “B” cards back into the box. Form a
face-down pile of the “C” cards, reveal the two top cards and lay them out next
to the pile.
Shuffle the Plague cards and reveal 3 of them. Put the remaining cards back
into the box.
Place tiles: Remove the I-Place tiles “Sacristy” and “Brasserie” as well as the
II-Place tile “Gunpowder Tower” from the game; these Place tiles are never used in
this expansion. Then add all your Place tiles to the 3 Plague Place tiles “Cemetery”,
“Back Door” and “Medicinal Spring”, separate them by category, and lay out 10
random Place tiles (12 in the 5-player game) for each category.
Now each player still gets an Infirmary Place tile in their color that they connect to their player board, plus a Plague
Doctor figure that they put aside for the time being.
New Elements / Changes in the Course of the Game
The course of the game is the same as in the base game. In the following, we explain the new elements and the changes.
Plague cards
The three face-up Plague cards modify the gameplay. The plague has an impact on Orléans and its inhabitants, so that the
conditions for the game can change. There are some conditions that only refer to the beginning of the game
, and others
that apply throughout the entire game . The cards for the changes of the starting conditions are put aside after they have
been executed; the cards that apply throughout the entire game remain face up on the table all the time. All players need to pay
attention to adhering to these conditions.
Events
As usual, one Hour Glass tile for the current round is turned over in phase 1, and the respective event is resolved in phase 6. Some
Hour Glass tiles are marked with a
. These events occur at a different time or apply during the entire round. The rule for any
event requiring a payment with coins is: If players are not able to pay the complete amount, they have to undergo torture for the
shortfall, according to the torture rules of the base game.

L o c h e s
Outbreak
Victory over Plague

– 22 –
In addition, the events show the number of Corpses each player has to take from the supply at
the end of phase 6 and throw into their bag. In case there are not enough Corpses available, then
distribute as many per player as possible, so that everybody gets the same quantity.
Example: The Hour Glass tile shows 2 Corpses. There are still 6 tokens available in the four-player
game. Now each player throws 1 Corpse (instead of 2) into their bag. The two remaining tokens
stay in place.
The Corpses
Corpses cannot be used for actions. When drawing them in phase 3, you place them on the Market, just as other Followers.
Example: In phase 3, Laura can draw 6 Followers out of her bag, since her marker on the Knights track is in the appropriate
position. Now she randomly draws 4 Followers and 2
Corpses. So she has only 4 Followers at her disposal for
planning the actions in this round (of course, she can
also use other Followers standing on the Market place
from the previous round).
Over the course of the game, more and more Corpses will accumulate in the bag and on the Market. However, you can also get rid
of them:
1. After the event has been resolved in phase 6, you may throw all Corpses that are currently on the Market back into your bag
(along with the Corpses that you might get as a result of the event). This way, you have made room on the Market again, but
that doesn’t mean you have gotten rid of the Corpses for good; it might happen that you draw them again right after that, so
that they again block your Market spaces.
Important: You can either throw all Corpses from
the Market back into the bag or none of them.
Attention: If there are 6 or more Corpses on the Market, you may (but don’t have to) throw
Corpses back into the bag (always before phase 3, i.e., before you draw Followers), so
that there are no more than 5 Corpses on the Market.
This also applies if the “Wake” event is on display. (Only the Market spaces count.
If you have the Cemetery, the Corpse lying there is not included in the count.)
2. You do penance and fulfill the conditions of an Indulgence card (see
below). Then you place this card face up next to your player board, and
you may put all Corpses that are currently on your Market back into the
general supply.
Other possibilities to get rid of a corpse or to get one can also be
triggered by events or Beneficial Deeds.
The Plague Doctor
From the second round on (after the plague has broken out) and for the rest of the game, each
player gets a Plague Doctor. Of course, the Doctor is the most important person during the plague
and is in high demand. The Plague Doctor can replace any other Follower (also the Monk), which
makes the Doctor a kind of universal joker. Besides this, he is also available in every round in
addition to the Followers that have been drawn. That means that, as usual, you draw the number
of Followers out of the bag that corresponds to your position on the Knights track (provided you
can place them on the Market) and may also use the Plague Doctor. If you carry out an action
where you have placed the Plague Doctor on an Action space, you then put him back onto the
upper space of the Infirmary. In the next round, he can be placed again. (Any other Followers used
during the action are thrown back into the bag, as usual.) Ship

Indulgence
In order to get rid of Corpses lying on your Market places for good, you need to fulfill the conditions of an Indulgence card. To this end, you
reveal the card at the moment right when you meet the condition described on it, and then immediately put all Corpses on the Market back
into the general supply. Leave the card face up in front of you; it will give you victory points at the end of the game.
What’s important is that you may play a card only if you fulfill the condition actively. That means you cannot play a card if you have already
met the condition before that. If, for instance, you have already built 5 or more Trading Stations, you can no longer use the card “Build your
5
th
Trading Station.”
If you donate something, you may already own the goods required; you fulfill the condition actively by giving them up. Similarly, if you
deliver something, you can already be at the place required; only by delivering the goods required do you fulfill the condition. On a
pilgrimage, you fulfill the condition actively right when you reach the place. If you are going to build a Trading Station, you fulfill the
condition once it has actually been built; It doesn’t play a role whether your figure has already been at the place for a while or not.
When can you fulfill a condition?
You can fulfill a condition and play an Indulgence card anytime during your turn. You may also play several cards at the same
time; and you may play them even if you have no Corpses on the Market. Playing a card is not considered an action; it is done in
addition, before or after your action. You can also fulfill Indulgence cards in phase 6 when you resolve an event (for instance, when
the event allows you to move and thus enables you to reach a place of pilgrimage) and, in doing so, you meet the condition of an
Indulgence card.
If you own any Indulgence cards that you cannot fulfill any more, you keep the cards, but you can no longer play them (and so you
won’t get any points for them at the end of the game). If, for instance, you have the card “Build a Trading Station in Tours,” but
another player is building their Trading Station there, you can no longer fulfill this condition.
Getting new Indulgence cards
At the beginning of the game, you already got 2 Indulgence cards. You can acquire additional cards anytime. To
do so, you have to carry out the Infirmary action that first needs to be activated either through a Monk or through
the Plague Doctor. If you use this action, you may take another card: either one of the face-up cards on display or
the top card from the face-down pile. Put the card face down in front of you, until you fulfill the condition.
If you take one of the face-up cards on display, you then immediately reveal the top card from the face-down pile and add it to the
other face-up cards on display, so that there always are at least 2 Indulgence cards face up on display.
If you take a face-down card, you look at it and put it down next to you. If it is a card you cannot use (because you either have
already met the condition or are not able to fulfill it), you put this card face up next to the other face-up cards on display, so that
another player can acquire it, and draw a new card from the face-down pile. If you cannot use the new card either, you need to
keep it, though.
Note: It can happen that there are face-up cards on display that no player can fulfill any more. Don’t remove these cards.
Conditions that have already become unfulfillable can become fulfillable again because of an event (e.g., because a Follower tile
goes back into the supply). During the course of the game, there can be more than just 2 cards on open display.
The individual cards are listed and explained in detail in the appendix.
Scoring
Tally your points at the end of the game, as usual. Then add the points shown on the Indulgence cards you have played (on those
whose condition you were able to fulfill). Now count your Corpses on the Market and in your bag and subtract 1 point for each
corpse.
The player with the most points could best defy the plague and is declared the winner.
Special cases
Corpses that you draw in phase 3 go onto your Market (until they are removed or thrown back into the bag). But if you draw
a Corpse because of an event (e.g., “Rat Infestation”), a Place tile (e.g., “Bathhouse”) or a Beneficial Deed (“Alchemy”), you
immediately put it back into the general supply. Further steps might then be omitted.
Note the special case of “Bathhouse”: If you draw a Corpse, put it into the general supply; the other Character goes back into
the bag. If you draw two Corpses, put both back into the supply.
If you obtain Corpses that need to be placed on the Market (e.g., because of the Beneficial Deed “Autopsy”) but there is no
space left, the tiles that cannot be placed are put back into the general supply.Infirmary

Beneficial Deeds „The Plague“
The new Beneficial Deeds have the same placement rules as in the base game. First and foremost, you may never send out your
own four (color-marked) Followers, and one type of Follower may never be replaced by a Follower of a different type (e.g., due to
its joker function). The Plague Doctor can never be sent to a Beneficial Deed!
In the two- or three-player game, you may send Followers only to the Beneficial Deeds in the upper area. With four or five players,
all Beneficial Deeds are in play. However, you need to consider that you can send Followers to Alchemy II in the bottom area only
when Alchemy I in the upper area is complete.
There is no Citizen for completing Alchemy I in the upper area, but there is one for completing Alchemy II in the bottom area (i.e.,
only in the four- or five-player game). With all the other Beneficial Deeds, the player who completes one obtains a Citizen as an
additional bonus.
You can send out Followers also if you are not able or willing to use the bonus. When a Deed is completed, the player obtains the
Citizen even if he doesn‘t use the bonus for sending the Follower out.
• Alchemy: You may send out any type of Follower. After that, immediately draw a Follower out of your bag and place it on an
Action space on your player board or on a Place tile. If this activates an action, you can carry it out in the current round. (This
way, actions can be activated and carried out even multiple times in a round.) If you draw a Corpse, put it back into the general
supply; you may not then draw another Follower.
• Autopsy: You may immediately put one Corpse from your market back into the supply. All the other players have to take one
Corpse from the supply and place it on their Market. If you cannot put any Corpse back, the other players don‘t have to take any.
• Coinage: Take 2 coins from the supply.
• Storeroom: Take 1 Grain from the supply.
• Herbalism: Advance 2 spaces on the Development track.
• Messenger Service: You may move your Merchant once either over land or over water, but not take any goods while you are
doing this.
• Cremation: Either advance 1 space on the Development track or take 1 coin from the supply.
Events
Outbreak: Put your Plague Doctor on
the upper part of the Infirmary; he can be
used from the next round on. In addition,
take one Corpse from the supply and put
it on a space of your Market.

Orléans Invasion is the expansion for all those
who want to play Orléans co-operatively.
Together you must fill the granaries, reinforce
the city walls and secure the borders. In
addition to the common goals, each of you
must also fulfill an individual task so that the
failure of an individual does not lead to the
start of the invasion and thus to defeat.
And as if that wasn‘t enough, new unforseen
events occur in every round. Sometimes, there
are arsonists, then rats raid the supplies. But
you can also look forward to unforeseen
support....
The Invasion expansion collection also includes other scenarios, all of
which are independent of each other. In addition to the co-operative
version, there are additional variants that can be played either together,
in pairs or alone. Prosperity brings secret missions into play to gain
additional points. To do this, the carpenter must be moved to the
right location and construct buildings there, which must then also be
managed. In The Duel, 2 players compete to see who can fullfill all
4 tasks first. And finally, in the solo scenarios The Dignitary, Capital
Vierzon, Travelling Salesman and The Trip to Tours, tasks of varying
degrees of difficulty must be completed.

Invasion - A cooperative Orléans scenario for 2-5 players by Inka and Markus Brand
Game Objective
Dark rumors about an impending invasion are spreading around the country! Orléans must be fortified as soon as possible, which
is why zealous craftsmen are building fortified towers around the country’s borders and knights are moving into the city to protect
the city walls. There is a lot of hustle and bustle in the otherwise peaceful idyll. Everywhere you can hear the clacking of wagons
and horse hoofs. Carts filled with goods are coming through the city gates to fill the warehouse. Tax collectors from all around the
country are streaming into the city with chests full of treasure—enough money to pay the blacksmiths so they can start producing
swords right away. Citizens of noble origin seek shelter behind the city walls. Is there enough time to complete the catapult? Will
the clothing store have enough clothes for the upcoming winter? Let’s go and join forces to save Orléans!
Setup
Set up the game according to the base game rules with the following changes:
Use the reverse side of the large game board “Invasion“. The outer cities are already specially marked for defense towers.
Place the game board “City Defense” (simply called “City” hereafter) next to the large game board “Invasion“.
Only use the following Place tiles, placing them in separate stacks for categories I and II:
: Cheese Factory, Hayrick, Herb Garden, Library, Shipping Line, Tailor Shop, Vineyard, Windmill, Winery, Wool Manufacturer
: Black Market, Gunpowder Tower, Horse Wagon, Laboratory, Market Stand, Pharmacy, School, Stage Coach, Tavern, Well
Put the remaining Place tiles back into the game box.
Separate the new Hour Glass tiles into stacks A and B and shuffle them separately. Then draw the following numbers of tiles
from each stack, without looking at them:
2- and 3-player game: 9x A, and 8x B
4- and 5-player game: 8x A, and 7x B
Place the “C“ tile on the bottom, the drawn “B” tiles on top of the “C” tile, and the “A” tiles on top of “B”.
Note:
Event tiles with a
symbol are extra mean. If you do not like that, remove those before preparing the Event Stack. If you
want a greater challenge, leave all Events in the game and, instead, remove “Support” and “Training”.
Additional Components
You will need the following components in addition to the base game components:
1 “City Defense” Scenario Board,
featuring 5 Accomplishments and
5 Common Objectives
31 “Cooperative Events”
Hour Glass tiles
(16x A, 14x B, and 1x C)

Course of Play
The players team up to complete only one goal—to save the city. To do so, you must complete all Common and Personal Objectives.
You can play the Planning Phase together and discuss your choices.
The game is played over 16 or 18 rounds—depending on the number of players—with the new Hour Glass tiles. If all objectives are
completed before the end of the last round, you win as a team.
The game is played like the base game, except there is no Census (phase 2).
10 citizens are placed on all empty citizen spaces on the game board. Add another 5 citizens to the Achievements on the
board “City“.
In a 3-player game, place a Trading Station in the unused color as a Fortified Tower in the following towns: La Chatre, Briare,
Tours. In a 2-player game, do the same as in a 3-player game, also placing a Fortified Tower in: Étampes, Montagis, S.-Amond-
Montrand, Chinon.
Shuffle the Character cards. Each player draws one card and places it face up in front of them. If a player gets the
“Councilman”, they must take the “Assembly Hall” board and place it next to their player board.
Put the remaining Character cards back into the game box—you will not need them.

Note:
Some Characters are more difficult to play than others. If you would rather have more control on which one you get, simply
choose one instead of drawing one at random.
For an easier game use: Councilman, Fisherman, General, Innkeeper , and Librarian. For a more difficult game use: Estate
Manager, Mayor, Merchant, and Scholar.
Each of you takes a “Support” Action Board and places it next to your player board.
Remove the base game Hour Glass tiles and Beneficial Deeds from the game—you will not need them.
Additional Actions
Vehicle: You can send up to
3 Goods to the City or another
player. You must send the Goods
to a single destination though—
you cannot split.
Guild House: You can send
up to 4 Coins to the City or another
player. You must send the Coins to
a single destination though—you
cannot split.
When a player sends money and goods to the City via the Vehicle and Guild House, they can send them to both the Warehouse
AND Clothing Store, and the City Treasury AND Treasury, respectively.Ve h i c l e

---

■ Hostel: You can send a Follower in your Market to another player who can immediately place
that Follower on one of their boards. For more efficiency, discuss this move as early as in the Planning
Phase. After the Action Phase, the Follower remains with the player he was sent to.

Example: Alice has almost activated her Guildhall with all the required
Followers—she is just missing the Farmer. It is Bob's turn who placed a
Monk on his Hostel. He uses the "Hostel" action to send a Farmer from
his Market to Alice so she can place it on her Guildhall. Now it is Alice's
turn and she can use her Guildhall immediately.

Important: If you receive a Follower from another player via the Hostel, you can place it in your Town Hall, even if you have
already used the Town Hall yourself. Keep in mind, you can use it multiple times per round.

■ Palatinate: You can use an action that another player has activated. That other player must return
the Followers used for activation to their bag as if they have used the action (which they haven't). If
the "Councilman" activates the "Palatinate", he may take the Followers from another players Town
Hall and place them in the Assembly Hall.

As usual: You can use Gear wheels to replace a Follower on any of the additional actions as long as you
follow the normal placement rules. Monks can replace any Follower

Achievements

Like the Beneficial Deeds, the 5 Achievements can be completed over several turns. As usual, use the Town
Hall (or Gunpowder Tower) to send Followers to the City. For Goods, use the Vehicle; for Coins, use the Guild
House.

To complete the Catapult, you must send Gear wheels to it. When taking the "Craftsman" action, you
need to decide whether you place the Gear wheel on an Action Space or the Catapult. The rule about the
first Gear wheel still applies: it must be used to replace a Farmer and cannot be sent to the Catapult. This
restriction does not apply to Gear wheels you get from the Laboratory.

As soon as an Achievement is complete, you—as a team—receive the Citizen.

Common Objectives

In any order and as a team, you must complete the following 5 Common Objectives before the end of the game:

City Walls: You must place a certain number of Knights on the City Walls.
2 players: 5 Knights | 3 players: 8 Knights
4 players: 10 Knights | 5 players: 13 Knights
Use the Town Hall (or Gunpowder Tower) to send the Knights to the City Walls.

Citizens: You must collect a certain number of Citizens.
2 players: 7 Citizens | 3 players: 8 Citizens
4 players: 9 Citizens | 5 players: 10 Citizens

You receive the Citizen in "Le Blanc" as soon as any player builds a Trading Station there.
You receive the 3 citizens below the goods next to the Followers tracks once you manage to empty the respective pile at any point
in the game. A pile does not need to remain empty forever—you can keep the Citizen once you earn it.
You receive the Citizen next to the Craftsmen track as soon as there is at least one Marker on the last space of each of the 6
Follower tracks, regardless of whose Marker that is.

– 31 –

---

City Treasury: You must fill the City Treasury with a certain amount of money.
2 players: 30 Coins | 3 players: 40 Coins | 4 and 5 players: 50 Coins
Use the Guild House to send Coins to the City Treasury.
Warehouse: You must fill the Warehouse with certain Goods:
2 players: 6 Grain, 3 Cheese, and 3 Wine
3 players: 10 Grain, 5 Cheese, and 5 Wine
4 players: 12 Grain, 6 Cheese, and 6 Wine
5 players: 14 Grain, 7 Cheese, and 7 Wine
Use the Vehicle to send Goods to the Warehouse.
Fortified Towers: You must build a Fortified Tower in each town at the edge of the map. To build a
Fortified Tower in a town, use the "Guildhall" action on your player board and place a Trading Station
on the marked space next to that town. You can still build regular Trading Stations, but only in towns
without a space for Fortified Towers.

2) Demolition: As a team, you must
return a total of 2 (in a 2- and
3-player game) or 3 (in a 4- and
5-player game) Gear wheels to the

you must pay Coins. If you do not
have enough Gear wheels and Coins, you lose the game
immediately.

of each round. For instance, at the end of the first round, you must pay 2 Coins. If you cannot pay your
dues, the entire team loses immediately.

number of depicted books.
In rounds 8 and 14, you must return a Farmer and Boatman, respectively. To do so, the respective
Follower must be in your Market (not your bag!).
In round 10, you must return a Gear wheel from one of your boards.
Note: If you return your only Gear wheel and receive another one later, you do not need to place it on a Farmer Space again.

you can keep the Citizen.
In round 16, you must return a Place tile to the general supply. Whether this Place is from stack I or II does not matter.
In a 4- or 5-player game, you do not have to pay the dues for rounds 17 and 18 (since the game ends after 16 rounds). In a 2- or
3-player game, however, you do.
Events
Some Hour Glass tiles have a
at the top, meaning these Events take place at a certain point in time or for a certain period of
time, as described on the tiles. Events without the take place in Phase 6 (Events), as usual.
If an Event requires you do something “as a team”, you must decide together how much each individual player shall contribute to
the task. It is not required that every player contribute, as long as the demands are met by the others.
Stack A in alphabetic order:
Councilman: As the Councilman,
you must fill the Assembly Hall
with Followers. Only you can send
Followers there via the “Town Hall”
action. The other players cannot send
any Followers to the Assembly Hall.
Your Personal Objective is complete
as soon as all spaces in the Assembly
Hall are occupied.
Innkeeper: As the Innkeeper, you
must have at least 16 Victory Points
from Grain, Cheese, and/or Wine only

12) Reinforcement: Place this tile on

(except the Development track) and

tile, but she does not receive a new Craftsman into her bag.
15) Trip: Each of you whose Merchant
is in Orléans by the end of the round
must pay 4 Coins. You must pay on
your own—the other players cannot

of your choice to the general supply,

enough of those in the Warehouse,
remove as many as you can.
11) Robbery: You each pay Goods
worth 5 Victory Points total or destroy
a Fortified Tower you built. You must
pay on your own—the other players
cannot pay for you. If any player
does not have enough Goods and
Fortified Towers, the entire team loses
immediately.
12) Rome Calling: You each return
a Monk to the general supply. If
any player cannot do so or you—
as a team—decide not to do so
altogether, you must remove a Citizen
who has not been collected yet from
the game. Decide together which
Citizen to remove.
13) Summoning: Return all Merchants
to Orléans. If you would rather have
your Merchant stay at its current
location, you can pay 5 Coins instead.
You must pay on your own though—
the other players cannot pay for you.
14) Witch Hunt: As a team, you lose
a total of 6 Development Points.
Decide together how much each
individual player should contribute
by moving their Marker back on
the Development track. For each
Development Point you cannot or do
not want to move back, you must
return a Monk to the general supply
instead. If you do not have enough Development Points and
Monks, you lose the game immediately.
Stack C:
1) Invasion: This is the moment of
truth! At the end of the round, all
Common and Personal Objectives
must have been completed. Which
one will it be: defeat or victory?
Game End
The game ends at the end of the round in which you turn the “Invasion” Hour Glass tile face up.
If at this point all Common and Personal Objectives have been completed, you successfully fend off the Invasion and win the
game! However, if even one Objective has not been completed by the end of the last round, the Invasion takes place and you all
lose. Don’t worry: next time you’ll manage!
B on Voyage
Each player can move
their merchant once
for 2 coins.
Famine
Each player must return
3 followers to the supply.
Fishing Grounds
Each player receives coins
equal to their progress
on the boatmen track.
Harvest
Each player must pay
1 grain/cheese/wine
or 5 coins.
Income
Each player receives
coins equal to their
development status.
Pirates
Remove any wool
and brocade on waterways
from the game.
Plague
Each player loses
1 follower
from their bag.
Raging Plague
Each player loses
2 followers
from their bag.
Rats

and 2 cheese
from the Warehouse.
Robbery

or each player must pay goods
worth 5 VP total.
Rome Calling
Each player must
discard 1 monk, or
remove 1 citizen.
Summoning
Return your merchant
to Orléans, or pay 5 coins.
Orléans
Witch Hunt

6 development points.

Tour Dyeworks
22 Structure cards
1 Carpenter
1 "Prosperity"
Scenario Board
1 neutral Marker
Per player:
1 neutral Marker
1 "Carpenter" Extension for

1-3x
Carpenter
Prosperity
1 Cover tile for the
Scriptorium

Setup
Set up the game according to the base game rules with the following changes:
■ Remove the Beneficial Deeds "Base game" board from the game and replace it with the
"Prosperity" board, featuring 16 Events and 3 Beneficial Deeds. Place a neutral Marker as a Round
Counter on Event 1 and move it forward at the end of each round.
Support
■ Shuffle the Goods and place them face down on the spaces of the game board (according to the
number of players). They remain face down on the game board for the entirety of the game, until you pick them up. Turn the
remaining Goods face up, sort them, and place them in their supply.

■ Only use the following Place tiles, placing them in separate stacks for categories I and II:
: Brewery, Cheese Factory, Hayrick, Herb Garden, Hospital, Library, Shipping Line, Sacristy,
Tailor Shop, Vineyard, Windmill, Winery, Wool Manufacturer
: Black Market, Cellar, Depot, Gunpowder Tower, Horse Wagon, Laboratory, Office,
Pharmacy, School, Stage Coach, Tavern
Put the remaining Place tiles back into the game box.
■ Place a Citizen each on the designated spaces of the "Boatmen" and "Knights" tracks. Place
3 Citizens on the Beneficial Deeds of the "Prosperity" board. Place the remaining Citizens as a
supply next to the game board. Do not place any Citizens on the Development track or map!
■ Shuffle the Structure cards face down and deal each player two face-down Structure cards.
Everybody chooses one of them to keep. Return the other to the bottom of the Structure cards
pile. Then place the pile as a draw pile next to the game board.
■ Place the Carpenter in Orléans, where the Merchants are.
■ Each takes a "Carpenter" extension and places it next to their player board. Then take a Cover
tile and place it on your Scriptorium such that the old action is covered by the new one. Also
take a neutral Marker, under which you will place your completed Structures later.
Remove the Hour Glass tiles from the game—you will not need them.

Bailling the Orphanage
Prosperity
A scenario for 2-5 players

Scriptorium

Course of Play
The game is played like the base game, except that the Events are predetermined. The Round Counter on the "Prosperity" board
indicates which round is being played and which Event is going to happen. The Carpenter introduces a new action.

Carpenter Action
The Carpenter is considered a place on your player board.
In the Planning Phase, you can place up to 3 Followers on the Carpenter,
either Traders or Boatmen. You cannot place Gear wheels there.
During the Action Phase, you can use the "Carpenter" action by going
through the following steps:

Carpenter
1-3x

1) First you may move the Carpenter 1 space per Follower placed on the action. For each Trader, move the Carpenter across a
Road, for each Boatman across a Waterway. As with the Town Hall, you can use any or all of the Followers you placed on the
Carpenter in the same action or in separate actions. Return the Followers to your bag after you use them to move. You can even
omit the movement.
2) If the Carpenter ends up in a town depicted on your Structure card, you can build the Structure. Place the Structure card face up
in front of you and place a Trading Station on a Good on a Road or Waterway leading to that town. If there is no such Good,
you cannot build the Structure.
After building the Structure, draw two Structure cards from the draw pile, keep one, and return the other to the bottom of the draw
pile.
You can use the "Carpenter" action any number of times per round as long as you meet the requirements.
Important: There is a difference between regular Trading Stations and Structures. If a Place tile or action refers to a Trading
Station (such as the Office), only your Trading Stations in towns count, your Structures do not.

– 37 –

---

Example: The Carpenter is in Châteauroux.
Yellow has a matching Structure card, so
she can play it to build a Vineyard there,
placing a Trading Station on a Good on
the Road from Châteauroux to Loches. She
could have used any of the Goods leading to
Châteauroux.

Structures

In order to receive the Victory Points for a Structure at game end, you must "man" the Structure by placing the required Followers next
to it (via the Town Hall or Gunpowder Tower).

Some Structures even require Coins and certain Goods. You can place these next to the Structure at any time, even if you have not
placed all the required Followers yet. This does not require a separate action.

You can only place Monks next to a Structure if the Structure explicitly requires them. You can never place Gear wheels there. Once you
place Followers, Coins, and Goods next to a Structure, you cannot take them back.

Once you completely manned a Structure—i.e. placed all the required items there (Followers, Coins, and Goods)—you can turn the
Structure Card face down and place it under your neutral Marker. Return the Followers to their supply—they can be hired again.
Remove the used Coins and Goods from the game: do not return them to the general supply.

Scriptorium

Due to the Cover tile, the Scriptorium now provides two possible actions:
- Gain a Development Point (as before).
- Receive a new Structure card. Draw two Structure cards, look at them, and keep one. Return
the other as well as the card you had before to the bottom of the draw pile. Effectively, you are
exchanging your Structure card for a new one. No player can ever have more than one Structure
card in hand!

Events

Details on the Events:

Support: You each draw a Follower
from your bag. Advance your Marker on
the corresponding track and take the
corresponding action. Also, take another Follower of that type
and put it into your bag.

Indulgence: You can each buy a Monk for
4 Coins. Take the Monk from the general
supply and put it into your bag.

Pilgrimage: When the "Pilgrimage" event is
drawn, you may not recruit Monks this round.
"Pilgrimage" always affects Phase 5: "Actions".
All the other events are triggered at the end of the round in
Phase 6: "Event".

Taxes: You each pay 3 Coins. If you cannot,
you must undergo torture, according to the
base game rules.

Riots: You each return a Knight (from your
Market or bag), or pay 5 Coins. If you cannot,
you must undergo torture, according to the
base game rules.

– 38 –

---

Bribe
6
Bribe: You can each buy a Citizen for
4 Coins.
Plague
7
Plague: You lose 1 Follower. Blindly draw
a follower from your Followers bag and
return it to the supply (it becomes available
again). Do not move your marker back on the corresponding
track. You cannot lose the follower of your color (i.e. your
initial Farmer, Boatman, Craftsman or Trader). If you draw one
of them, lucky you! In this case, you do not lose a follower this
round.
Firestorm
8
Firestorm: All players must turn over all
of their Place tiles, losing their abilities
for now. Return any Gear wheels and
Followers (except your own followers) on those Place tiles to
the general supply. (Put your own Followers back into your
bag.) Places built after this Event are not affected.
Mass
9
Mass: At the end of the round, you each
receive 3 Coins for each Monk in your
Market.
Peregrination
10
Peregrination: In turn order, you can
each pay 2 Coins to move your Merchant
(not the Carpenter) to an adjacent town,
collecting a Good, if possible.
Restoration
11
Restoration: Turn all the Places
affected by Firestorm face up.
Harvest
12
Harvest: You may return food items (grain,
cheese or wine) or pay penalty coins. If you
cannot pay neither food items, nor coins, you
must undergo torture. You return food and coins into their supply.
Pilgrim's Day
13
Pilgrim's Day: You can each exchange
a Monk and another Follower (except
your own) from your Market for a Citizen.
Return the Followers to their supply.
Plague
14
Plague: You lose 1 Follower. Blindly draw a
follower from your Followers bag and return
it to the supply (it becomes available again).
Do not move your marker back on the corresponding track. You
cannot lose the follower of your color (i.e. your initial Farmer,
Boatman, Craftsman or Trader). If you draw one of them, lucky
you! In this case, you do not lose a follower this round.
Market Day
15
Market Day: You can each buy up to
2 Goods from the general supply for the
depicted prices. If the general supply is out of
a certain Good, you cannot buy that type. You cannot sell Goods
with this!
Development Tax
16
Development Tax: You must each pay
a number of Coins equal to your current
Development Status. If you cannot, you must
undergo torture, according to the base game rules.

Beneficial Deeds

There are 3 Beneficial Deeds on the "Prosperity" board. As usual, you can use the Town Hall
to send Followers there:
■ Founding the Carpenter's Guild: 1 Coin for each placed Follower. 1 Citizen on
completion.
■ Right of Assembly: 2 Coins for each placed Follower. 1 Citizen on completion.
■ Building the Orphanage: 1 Coin or Development Point for each placed Follower.
1 Citizen on completion.

Game End and Scoring

The game ends after 16 rounds.
On top of the regular Victory Points (Coins, Goods, Development), you also receive Victory Points for your completely manned
Structures by adding up the Victory Point values of all the Structure cards placed under your neutral Marker.

IMPORTANT:
■ Only the actual Trading Stations count towards your Development Score (Citizens plus Trading Stations times Development
Status). Your Structures (Trading Stations on Goods) do not count!
■ Only your completed Structure cards count, i.e. those you turned face down and placed under your neutral Marker, after
placing all the required components. Your face-up Structure card, if any, does not count. Coins and Goods placed next to an
incomplete Structure do count for scoring.

The Duel - An Orléans scenario for 2 players by Reiner Stockhausen
Game Objective
Are you ready for a competition? A duel between two great merchants without mercy? You are each trying to complete four
objectives before the other does. How you do it is up to you—be quick though, your opponent is on your tail! The first to
complete all four objectives wins. In case you both complete them on the same round, your leftover supplies—which are hopefully
plentiful—will decide!
Setup
Lay out the large game board “Base game“ (map and towns).
You each take: 1 bag, 1 player board, and the components in a color of your choice. Place the Followers in your color (Farmer,
Boatman, Craftsman, Trader) on the Market, and your Markers on the first space of each track on the game board. Keep your
Trading Stations in front of you.
(We recommend you use yellow and green for colors, because the Action and Scenario Board have spaces in those colors
assigned to each player.)
Set up the Goods for a 2-player game, according to the base game rules (shuffle them face down, place one on each map space
except “3” and “4” spaces, turn them face up, place the rest in their supply).
Beginning with the Start Player, each place your Merchant in a town of your choice (you do not have to start in Orléans).
Place the required number of Followers (for a 2-player game) next to each track on the game board, as well as 8 Gear wheels.
Place the Scenario Board next to the game board. It features
16 Events, 4 Objectives, and 4 Beneficial Deeds. Place a neutral
Marker as a Round Counter on Event

The Dignitary - A solo scenario for Orléans by Reiner Stockhausen, difficulty I-II
(Levels of difficulty: I = easy, for beginners; II = medium, for experienced players; III = hard, for diehard players)

those (or 7 in the easier version). Each round, you must cope with an Event.
Setup
Lay out the large game board (map and towns) and the Beneficial Deeds “Base game” board from the base game.

Craftsman, Trader) on the Market, and your Markers on the first space of each track on the game board. Place your Merchant
in Orléans and keep your Trading Stations in front of you. Also take the “Stage Coach”, which you can use from the start. You

Capital Vierzon - A solo scenario for Orléans by Reiner Stockhausen, difficulty II-III
(Levels of difficulty: I = easy, for beginners; II = medium, for experienced players; III = hard, for diehard players)

Game Objective
Your goal is to make Vierzon the fortified capital of the region. Over the course of 14 rounds, you must complete 5 Objectives. Each
round, you must cope with an Event.

Additional Components
You will need the following components in addition to the base game components:

Market Stand
the "Market Stand"
Place tile

6 neutral Markers

1 "Capital Vierzon"
Scenario Board

V
Capital Vierzon

Setup
■ Lay out the large game board for the Base game (map and towns).
■ Take a bag, a player board, and the components in a color of your choice. Place the Followers in your color (Farmer, Boatman,
Craftsman, Trader) on the Market, and your Markers on the first space of each track on the game board. Place your Merchant
in Orléans and keep your Trading Stations in front of you. Also take the "Market Stand", which you can use from the start. You
start with no Coins.
■ You will only need 40 Goods. Shuffle all Goods face down, draw 40 at random, and remove the rest from the game. Then place
a Good on each Road and Waterway leading to Orléans, Blois, Tours, Loches, Montrichard, Vierzon, Bourges, and Sancerre (do
not place any on "3" and "4" spaces). Turn all Goods face up and place the remaining ones in their supply.
■ Place the Scenario Board next to the game board. It features 14 Events for the 14 rounds you are
about to play, as well as 5 Objectives and 2 Beneficial Deeds. Place a neutral Marker as a Round
Counter on Event 1. Keep the remaining neutral Markers ready at hand to mark completed
Objectives.
■ Place 7 Citizens on their designated spaces: 5 on the game board, and 2 on the Beneficial Deeds on
the Scenario Board.
Strike
Village
■ Place tiles that are not used in this scenario are labeled with a „V" in the appendix of the overview of Place tiles (p. 51-59) and
are discarded. Shuffle the remaining Place tiles face down, separately for types I and II. Draw 5 of each type and place them
face up on the table. Remove the rest from the game.
■ Place 4 neutral Followers of each type on the corresponding spaces of the game board. Also place 4 Gear wheels next to the
Craftsman track.
■ Keep the Coins ready at hand.
■ Remove the base game Beneficial Deeds and Hour Glass tiles from the game-you will not need them.

Course of Play
The game is played like the base game, except that the Events are predetermined. The Round Counter on the Scenario Board
indicates which round is being played and which Event is going to happen. Move the Round Counter forward at the end of each
round.
There is no Census (phase 2).

V Make Vierzon the Capital: Have
at least 28 Victory Points from

■ Expanding the University: 1 Coin or Development Point for each
placed Follower. 1 Citizen on completion.
■ Founding the City Council: 1 Coin for each placed Follower.
1 Citizen on completion.

Game End
You win the game at the end of the round in which all of your 5 Objectives have been completed! If you fail to do so by the end of
