Setup

  • Place the board in the center. For the first game use the Scotland face (basic); the Ireland face is advanced mode.

  • Block the indicated areas according to the number of players.

  • Each player takes their set of tiles (food farms, energy farms and settlements) of their color and places them in their personal bag. Take 1 tile at random to have in hand.

  • Each player receives their wooden castle and cathedral pieces.

  • Shuffle the mission cards and place them face down next to the board. The youngest player starts.

ROUND STRUCTURE

  • Place the tile in your hand on an empty space on the board, score immediately, and draw a new tile from your bag for the next turn.

CASTLES AND CATHEDRALS

  • When you place a tile adjacent to an empty castle, you place your piece on it (you are the first to claim it). If a rival accumulates more tiles adjacent to the same castle, they take the piece and control.

  • When you place your first tile adjacent to a cathedral, you place your piece and draw a secret mission card. Completing it at the end gives you the indicated points.

Victory conditions

  • Points are scored immediately upon placing each tile. When placing a farm, you gain 1 point for each tile in the group you just created or expanded (including the new one). For settlements, districts score when completely filled: small district (1 space) scores according to influence; middle district (2 spaces) gives 5 pts to the first and 3 pts to the second; large district (3 spaces) gives 8 pts to the first and 5 pts to the second.

  • The game ends when all players have placed all their tiles. Castles are then scored (5 points per castle controlled) and secret missions completed. Whoever has the most points wins.
