Game

• Make a draw pile of tiles
  • 2 player = 24 tiles
  • 3 player = 36 tiles
  • 4 player = 48 tiles
• Each round (6 in total)
  • Setup
    • Draw tiles, 1 for each player (and an extra 2 tiles for a 2 player game)
    • Lay them out in a column, in number order, lowest at top
  • Turn
    • First round
      • Order is decided by drawing from a handful of kings
      • Place your king on an unoccupied tile you want
    • Subsequent rounds
      • Order is from top to bottom of last round placing, top to bottom
      • Add the tile your king is on (from the last round) to your territory
        • 5×5 grid
        • touching borders must match on at least one edge
        • starting middle tile is considered wild
        • tiles can not be moved once placed
        • if tiles can’t fit they’re discarded and not scored
      • Place your king on an unoccupied tile you want in the newly drafted column
• Keep going until there are no tiles left to draw

Score Points From

• Each contiguous territory scores:
  • number of tiles * number of crowns
  • no crowns = no points
• Bonus points
  • 10 points if castle is in the center
  • 5 points if you didn’t discard any tiles

Tips

• Don’t get so caught up with matching borders you make a shape that can’t be filled
