About the game
What you do in a play session
The heart of the game revolves around a clever combination of worker placement and dice rolling. But make no mistake, it's not just about rolling dice and seeing what happens! You'll have to carefully plan where to place your workers to maximize the results of your colored dice, which function as resources. Each die color has a specific value and purpose, demanding strategic decisions every turn.
Your journey to glory involves several fronts: expanding your domains with territory tile placement, building trade routes connecting cities and markets, and advancing on prestige and money tracks. The ultimate goal is to be the first to make your money and fame tracks meet, symbolizing your rise as a legendary ruler. Efficient management of your dice, building strategic connections, and seeking the right karma will be your greatest allies in this race for power and recognition.
