8. Issued cards: raw material and manufactory cards are displayed on the left as brown or gray points, trading buildings (yellow) and guilds (lila) cards on the right. Research buildings (green), professional buildings (blue) and military cats (red) can be seen in the middle. To view the maps more accurately, you simply drive with the mouse over the corresponding color points.

At the top right, all players will be displayed. If you click on a color point, the corresponding player tray will be pushed forward. Once you click the same color point again, the background is darkened and the maps are hidden.

If you travel with the mouse over opposing tableaus, the name of the owner is colored in its color. The symbols before the name indicate who has already selected a card in the current round: So the players with a sand watch have already chosen, the players with the card symbol still have to choose.

Game sequence

Each player receives at the beginning one of the world miracles at the same time. In addition, each player gets three coins as start capital.

Played over three ages, each age consists of six rounds. Each round runs as follows:

• Select a map
• Use map
• Share remaining cards

Select maps

At the beginning of the age, each player has seven cards on hand. He can choose one of them. He passes the remaining cards so that you get the cards of the neighbor in each subsequent round, one less than in the round before.

Meaning of card symbols:

The hand maps show whether you can buy the card (green hook), can not buy (red cross) or can build for free (yellow star).

There are maps that don't cost anything (e.g. some raw material maps in the first age), with all other maps the construction costs are displayed on the top left. This can be in the form of coins (e.g. the brown card in the image) or raw materials. In the case of purchaseable cards, the minimum costs are given above the green hook (here 1 at the wooden card).

To select a card, click it with the mouse.

Use map

With each card you can use one of three options:

• Building buildings
• Building stage of your own world miracle
• Take three coins from stock

Building buildings

This is the most used action. You pay the construction costs and get the building into its deposit. You can use your skills from now on.

If you select the card with one click, you will get the following selection:

With the top symbol you can now choose to build the building. Click on the top (green) arrow. If you have to pay raw materials or goods to build this building, the payment window opens:

On the left are the required raw materials/goods, above the own coin supply. If you produce the raw materials you need, you select the blue arrow down (here the ore). If a commodity/good is missing, you can buy it from the direct neighbors. This costs two coins each. For this purpose, the corresponding blue arrow is selected to the left or right. The number of coins used in this case is displayed darkened (here 2 + 1 = 3 coins). You complete the construction by clicking on the green hook.

For action:

• Only raw materials/goods can be bought from the direct neighbors right and left of the player
• The neighbor cannot prevent the purchase, but naturally gets the coins. He himself can still use the raw material/goods in his own train.
• For sale only the raw materials/goods produced by the neighbour by means of brown/grey goods (i.e., for example, not the raw materials/goods from Forum/Karawanserei) and the raw material (worldly wonder-dependent)
• You can only buy raw materials/goods for the current round
• It is also possible to buy several raw materials/goods from the same or from different neighbors as long as they produce many accordingly.
• If a player has an account or market, he can buy raw materials/goods for only one coin from the corresponding neighbor

In the example picture, the player has an accountr West, which is why he can buy the wood for only one coin from the right neighbour (Nessi). Unfortunately, Nessi produces only one wood so that he has to buy the second wood for expensive two coins at the left neighbor (Vreneli).

Note: Raw materials/goods are only "virtual", i.e. they will not be used as raw material cards or blocks, as they would suspect. They are not released after use but remain with the player and can be reused in each round. However, each raw material/good can only be used once per round.

A player may have the same building not Build twice!

Building stage of your own world miracle

To build a world miracle, you simply select the second arrow on the map.

If the arrow is orange, the world miracle cannot be built because, for example, the necessary raw materials are not present.

Note:World miracles don't necessarily have to be built to play (ready). You can also finish the game without building a single stage. The construction of the stages is also not dependent on the age. Thus, for example, in the first age one cannot build anything, then in the second stage 1 and 2.

Take coins

This action can always be chosen. Man can also use cards carrying the red X. The map you choose for this is, as in the case of world miracles, absolutely irrelevant. After the action, it is placed undercover on the storage stack.

To get three coins for one card, choose the lowest card action.

Postcards

If each player has chosen and used a card, the remaining cards will be passed down to the neighbor. In the first and third ages this happens clockwise, in the second age counterclockwise.

In the sixth round each player has two cards to choose from. As usual, he chooses one of them, the last card of each player then moves to the storage stack.

End of an Age

At the end of each age, the military conflict is held. For this, each player compares the number of his shields (red cards) (separated) with each of his two neighbors.

• If he has more shields, he gets a victory marker. Victory marker of 1./2./3. Ages are worth 1/3/5 win points
• If he has less shields, he gets a defeat marker (-1 victory point)
• If he has many shields, nothing happens

Playing

The game ends after the military conflict of the third age. All winning points are added (S. final score). The player with most winning points wins the game. At the same time, the number of coins decides. There are several winners.
