Game Overview
The gameplay is similar to 3 to 7 players. There are 3 Ages. At the start of an Age, each player receives a hand of 7 cards, dealt randomly, from the Age’s deck. Each age comprises 6 game turns. During each turn, players put into play a single card, simultaneously. A game turn involves
1. Choose a card
2. Action
3. Move on to next hand
The difference is in the management of the Free city : the players will take turns to play it and in addition to their own card, a card for it.
1. Choose a card
If you hold the Free city card, take the first draw pile card and add it to your hand.
Choose two cards from your hand (first one for your own city and second for the Free City). Your opponent chooses a card for themselves.
Each player places remaining cards on their own side of the Border card.
Note: The Free City cannot discard a card to get 3 coins unless it cannot play
a card.
2.Action
Free city card holder plays the Free city’s card followed by their own while their opponent performs their own action.
Rules for the Free city
The Free City can buy resources from its two neighboring cities according to the normal commerce rules. When a resource is available in both neighboring cities, the player controlling the Free City gets to pick which city to buy from
If the card chosen for the Free city can benefit from a free construction (chain), this free construction MUST be performed.
Note : during the sixth turn of the age, there is only one card remaining
in the Free city’s draw pile. This last card is discarded at the same time as
the seventh and last card of the players.
3. Move on to the next hand
Once all three cards are played, players take the stack of cards on the other side of the border. The other player plays for Free City in the next turn, and so on until end of game.
End of an Age
The player who begins with the Free city card changes each age :
Age I : the card is held by the player to the left of the Free city.
Age II : the card is held by the player to the right of the Free city.
Age III : the card is held by the player to the left of the Free city.
There is no change to the conflict resolution rules.
End of the Game
Count victory points similar to the standard game. Highest victory point player wins. If tied, player with the most coins wins.
