Each game starts with a deck of characters – from humble millers to elegant nobles – that you can recruit to perform jobs that generate gold. Cards are auctioned using a Dutch format, so everyone submits bids simultaneously, making the scramble for resources tense. After hiring, you place the cards into board areas representing farms, mines, or armies, and each combination can trigger powerful synergies. The game employs open drafting, so all players see what’s available and can plan their picks together. As your economy expands, victory points act as a currency: you can spend them to trigger special abilities or hire more characters, creating a smooth invest‑and‑reap loop. The pace is quick – about 20‑30 minutes – and the learning curve is gentle, perfect for those who want a strategic feel without hours of rules. The social factor is strong: pairing characters that complement each other (e.g., a peasant producing food alongside a soldier defending the harvest) opens multiple paths to victory while you try to block opponents’ combos. In the end, whoever balances gold generation, point spending, and opponent disruption best walks away with the crown. It’s a themed card game that’s easy to learn yet deep enough to keep each play fresh. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 2 to 4 players. ### How long does a game last?
