Click on the desired cubes, which then change their color to brown. At the same time, one or more green arrows show the selectable consultants. To select a consultant, simply click on it Number.

Here the player has selected all his cubes (6-6-4). It can thus influence the magician (16) or with the aid of the +2 marker the king (18). For example, it could have chosen only the 6 and the 4 and could therefore influence the host leader (10). After his fellow players were on the line, he could have chosen the alchemists with the other six.

Reihum now influences each player a consultant. Each consultant can only once again be influenced (exception: Messenger -> see Phase 5)!

Who doesn't want to influence or can click on Pass. Once you've been fit, this phase is over.

There are four factors that can change the influence:

If you travel with the mouse over a raw material, small, green arrows are displayed up and down. With these arrows you can browse the raw material selection. If you have set the desired combination, you will confirm this by clicking on the yellow arrow on the right side.

Building buildings

If all consultants have distributed their bonuses, each player may perform a construction activity (exception: Messenger -> see Phase 5) or fit. The raw materials specified in the building overview must be paid for construction. A neutral glass stone shows the possible buildings to be built, a glass stone of its own color which has already been built. The own raw materials are displayed as a help at the bottom of the building window.

At the beginning each building can be built in the first (left) column of a province (Standbild, Kneipe, Wachturm, Palisaden, Barrikade). In the later course, buildings can only be built directly to the right of buildings already built.

Thus, a church can only be built if a statue and a chapel were built before.

The properties of built buildings are now available to the player. The construction costs as well as points of victory and properties of the buildings are displayed by Mouseover.

Phase 3: Adoration by the King

The player with the most buildings obtained a victory point. At the same time, each party receives a victory point.

Phase 4: Summer (production phase)

Summer is just like spring.

Phase 5: King's Messenger

The King supports the player with the at least buildings by Shipped (Roter Pöppel with crown). At the same time, he receives the messenger who has fewer goods. If there is equality here, no messengers will be awarded in this round.

The Messenger may be the following three production phases: and has the following property:

• This can affect an advisor who has already been influenced.

or

• In the construction phase, two can be carried out instead of one construction action.

If the Messenger is not used until the 5th phase of the next round, he goes back unused and will be forgiven.

Phase 6: Autumn (production phase)

Autumn also runs like spring.

Phase 7: recruiting soldiers

All players can now recruit one or more soldiers for defense. For every soldier any goods to pay. As with consultants, the type and number of raw materials can be set with the small arrows. The number of soldiers recruited with these raw materials is always displayed on the right. The selection is also confirmed here with the small arrow on the right side.

Phase 8: Winter

The currently possible combat strength is indicated next to the season display. In this case, the combat strength can be between 4 and 6.

If a player has previously influenced an advisor with whom he could spy out the enemy (Heerführer (10) or Queen (17), he sees the enemy at this point. Mouseover also shows what you get when you win battle or lose when you lose battle.

Their own strength is composed of the soldiers recruited this year (see Heeresanzeige) and the defense of the built buildings. In addition, the king sends his own troops in the form of a cube for help. The cubed number of eyes is added to its own strength.

In the picture, the King's auxiliary troops are displayed at the bottom left, along with the support through buildings, to the right of which the number of soldiers. In this case, the player has a battle strength of 7, the enemy only has one of 5. The player wins the fight.

• If a player has the same strength as the enemy, there is neither profit nor loss.
  
• If a player has a higher fighting strength than the enemy, he wins the battle and receives a reward.
  
• If a player has a lower fighting strength than the enemy, he loses the battle and must pay tribute.

profit or loss Tributes are hostile and can be in the form of victory points, raw materials or building demolitions.

In this case, each player who won the fight will receive a stone. Each player who has lost the fight must give four gold and tear a building off.

If a building has to be removed in case of loss, the following rules apply:

• It is always first removed the building, which is the farthest right.
• If several buildings are located to the right, the building above will first be destroyed.
• Any winning point for this building will be deducted directly.
• The building can be rebuilt later.

Only existing raw materials must be released when raw materials are lost.

The player with the Highest combat strength receives a win point for the reward. But only if he won the battle. After that, all soldiers are sent back home, i.e. the army display is reset to zero for all players.

After the battle, the year is over. The annual counter returns a field forward and the next year begins again with phase 1.

Playing

The game ends after the battle in the fifth year. The winner is the player who was able to earn most winning points. At the same time, the number of goods remaining is decisive. If there is even balance, the player wins with most buildings. There are several winners.

Rules for two persons

In the two-person game special rules apply to the production phases (spring, summer, autumn). It is cubed with three cubes and the consultant, which corresponds to the sum of all cubes, is blocked for this phase. Then another two dice is diceed and another consultant is blocked. If the number of eyes of the second litter is identical to the number of eyes of the first litter, the two cubes are distributed to two consultants. If both cubes are the same, only one consultant is additionally blocked.

Special rule for the regional advancement to the German Team Championship in Brettspiel 2009:

In winter (campaign phase) the royal support is not created, but each player can ask a king's troops before the enemy card is uncovered. The king holds for each player six troops with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 soldiers. Every winter, each player requests one of his soldiers' troops, who can only be used once for this winter.

At the end of the game, exactly one unsolicited troops remains for each player. The number of soldiers in the group is credited to the player as winning points.
