Game Overview Players compete to collect resources, build their castle, and reach the throne room in the center of the board. The first to do so wins. How to Play On your turn, you either roll the die (1–3) to move your pawn or spend resources to build. When you land on resource spaces (gold mines, forests), you claim them with flags and gain gold or wood. Crossing special lines or spaces makes you draw Fate cards — green (good luck) or red (bad luck). You can buy building cards using wood and gold to develop your city. Some spaces or actions let you plunder or take over opponents areas (luck and chance play a role here). Building & Fighting Building gives advantages and is required to complete your castle. Fighting or plundering occurs when you land on opponents claimed areas — the rules are simple and luck-based (no complex dice battles). Winning the Game A player wins by: Building their Castle, then Reaching the throne room in the center of the board before anyone else. —description from the publisher
