Rules summary
Game flow
A player’s turn consists of playing 1 card from their hand of un-played personality cards and executing the action(s) on the card. All played cards form a personal discard pile, showing only the last card played.
Personality cards
Tribune - With the Tribune, a player takes back ALL cards from their personal discard and receive 1 sestertius coin for cards returned beyond three. They may also build one additional colonist for one food + one tool.
Architect - Move colonists, total moves based on number of colonists. May build houses adjacent to colonists - cost 1 food in brick city, or one brick + one good of city type in other cities. Coin cost: Brick = 1, Food = 2, Tool = 3, Wine = 4, Cloth = 5. Cost is multiplied by final number of houses which will be in the city.
Prefect - Produce goods in a province and flip token to coin side, or collect the cash bonus (total of all coins shown on previously produced locations, which are then reset).
Colonist - Either build new colonists for 1 food + 1 tool, or collect 5 coin + 1 coin per player colonist.
Mercator - get the specified number of coins, then you may buy or sell up to two types of goods at prices shown on the storehouse board.
Diplomat - execute the top card of another player's discard pile.
Senator - Buy cards, at cost of goods shown in red field of card, + what is shown under card on the game board.
Consul - buy one card for just the cost shown in red field of card.
Specialists - produce goods as directed, one per house of that good type across all locations.
Game end
The game end is triggered after either a player purchases the last card from the display, or after any one player builds their 15th house. In either case, this player is awarded the CONCORDIA (worth 7 additional VP) card for triggering the Game End condition.
