The game involves a deck-building mechanism which may be familiar to those
people who have played another certain award winning card game. Each player
starts with a small set of cards. Cards come in two general types, location
cards and empire cards. You can add an empire card to your discard pile simply
by taking one as an action. Adding a location card is a little more involved.
Each location card has a list of locations that it connects to and the transport
type required to move to each of those locations. To take control of a neutral
location you would have to play a location card with that neutral location on
it, then a card that has the correct transport symbol, and then possibly a card
with a settler symbol on it if required. You then place a cube in the location
and add the location card to your discard pile.
Players take it in turns
to perform two actions. There are a range of actions available, such as settling
new locations, besieging locations, trading fur, launching Indian raids, and
building fortifications. There are also cards that allow you to perform actions
to manage your deck, such as getting rid of useless cards and drawing additional
cards from your pile. You can also place cards in reserve so that you can use
them at a later point in time.
The game ends if a player manages to
capture his opponent's capital city or he has managed to place all of his
village or town pieces on the board. In the latter case points are calculated to
see who wins.
The game can last from between 30minutes to two hours,
depending on how well players pursue the victory
conditions.
