3 to 8 players act in the role of eight characters that represent 8 groups of people in the whole of human history: King, Thief, Minister, Executioner, Sheriff, and Peasant. Every player has 5 coins in the game, 3 in her hand and 2 in the treasury which is the area in the center of players. The game is to divide the treasury between the players and when the treasury is empty, the winner is the player who has more coins in her hands. The starting player shuffles the cards and places all 8 cards from the back on the table. Depends on the number of players from 6 to eight cards in the game. First, take these four cards out: "King, Thief, Minister, and Peasant" Every player can do 4 things on their turn: Rotate the cards: by saying "one/two to right" every card goes to the spot in its right. By saying "one/two to left" we do the same to the left. Pay a coin to the treasure and see her card. Claim a character and act! Change the card with the card in the center (not for 8 players)
