Module 1: The Task cards

Module 1 brings the 9 Task cards into play.

Setup:

Shuffle each of the 3 cards of a single Landscape type (i.e., the same color) face-down and turn 1 face-up. Put the other cards back in the box as you will not need them this game. This results in 1 face-up Task card for each of the Landscape types - Forest, Grain, and Village.

There are the same 3 Task cards for each Landscape type.

Closed-off territory size 5+

This Task must be completed during the game.

Each player may only score this Task once per game. If you succeed in creating a closed-off territory of size 5+ in the indicated Landscape type during the same turn, add up the points of the first two places and divide them. You then score 6 points each. Write the points for this Task immediately on the score sheet in the field below the trophy.

When playing a two-player game, only use the first two numbers. The other two numbers are only used in games with 3 or 4 people.

Most closed-off territories size 2+

You score this Task at the end of the game. If both players have the same number of territories in the specified Landscape type of size 2+, add up the points of the first two places and divide them. You will then score 6 points each.

Write the points on the score sheet in the field below the trophy.
