Step by step

Objective of the Game

Unrest is spreading through the capital of Longsdale, and some say war is imminent. The King needs your help to navigate these turbulent times. In this expansion, you will experience a story told across five Chapter cards. Your goal is to make decisions that may turn the fate of the capital as you navigate the unfolding events.

Setup

This expansion introduces new Building cards, Event cards, and Person cards. Depending on how you want to play, follow these steps:

  • Story Mode: If you want to play the story, start with Chapter I. At the end of each chapter, the game will instruct you on how to proceed to the next one.
  • Standard Mode: If you wish to play with the new components without the story, use the pseudo-chapter "All Inclusive".
  • Chapter Setup: Each chapter includes a Setup card. Use this card to determine which Event cards should be used for that specific chapter and follow its specific setup instructions.
  • Event Card Pile Preparation:
    • For Chapter I: Place card 2 at the bottom (show this to all players). Place cards 6 through 12 in the middle (shuffled). Place cards 15, 16, and 17 on top (shuffled). Read card 30 aloud.
    • For Solo Play: Place card 3 at the bottom. Place cards 8 through 13 in the middle (shuffled). Place cards 15, 16, and 17 on top (shuffled). Read card 37 aloud.

Course of Play

The game lasts exactly 9 rounds (or 10 rounds in Solo mode). The game ends at the end of the round in which the last Event card is turned over. The structure follows these rules:

  • Start of Round: Even before Phase I, turn over the topmost Event card and read it aloud. You must carry out its instructions immediately or in the phase indicated on the card.
  • Phase I: Consulte el manual para detalles sobre esta sección.
  • Phase II: Consulte el manual para detalles sobre esta sección. Note that if you turn over a Person card during this phase, discard it immediately.
  • Phase III: Consulte el manual para detalles sobre esta sección. Note that if you turn over a Person card during this phase, discard it immediately.
  • Phase IV: In this phase, you may build a Building and hire exactly 1 Assistant. Note that you may choose to build a Building from the display instead of the one chosen in Phase II.

Actions and How to Play

During your turn, you have access to various actions and new components:

  • Building: In Phase IV, you can build a Building. You may choose to build a Building from the display by looking through the pile and selecting one of a specific color.
  • Hiring an Assistant: In Phase IV, you may hire exactly 1 Assistant. Note that you may not move your Assistants unless the current Event card allows it; however, moving them is free of charge.
  • New Building Types:
    • Armory: Produces Weapons (worth 4 Coins). You may only build this if your Strength is at least 1.
    • Corn Farm: Produces exactly 1 Corn in Phase IV without needing a Worker or an Assistant. Corn is worth 2 Coins.
    • Oven Builder: Produces Ovens (worth 5 Coins).
    • Small Watchtower: Provides a Strength of 1.
    • Vineyard: Produces exactly 1 Grapes in Phase IV without needing a Worker or an Assistant. The value of Grapes depends on the number of Buildings you have of a certain color (including the Vineyard).
    • (Large) Watchtower: Provides a Strength of 2 (or 3). When built, place it below a Production Building so the left side is visible. This reduces the Resource requirement for that Building by 1 (or 2 if using a sloppy Worker). You cannot add this later if you didn't place it immediately.

End of Game and Scoring

The game ends at the end of the round in which the last Event card is turned over. Unlike the base game, the game does not end automatically when a player builds their eighth Building.

At the end of the game, you must make preparations for the next chapter as described on the back side of the current Chapter card.
