Each of the players is the son or daughter of an aristrocrat sent in a valley still controlled by barbarians. The King has promised that the one of you who has done the most to pacify the valley will be elected prince.

You have already built your castle and have developed some farms.

It is now time to expand it while fighting off the hordes of barbarians. 

 

At the beginning of the game, every player has 3 hex tiles, their castle and two fields.

During the course of play, players will search for new land tiles and bid to acquire previously found land.

There are multiple land tiles:

• Fields (Farms)
• Barracks
• Black smiths
• Markets
• Churches
• Schools
• Masonries
• Castles

However, each tile except for the castles are double-sided, with a field on one side and another type on the other.

As such, the two starting fields of each players also has another type, but the players will not be able to find what type it is until later in the game.
