The game is played in rounds, and all players take simultaneous turns by bidding, gaining new tokens and spreading their influence on the map. The game ends at the end of a round when all SQUARE spaces are filled by influence cubes.

You will receive support (points) for all Key Areas on the map in which you will have more influence tokens that all other players. Additionally, each Force, Blackmail and Gold token you will have left at the end of the game will also provide you additional support (points). The player with most points wins!
