We show you how to set up the game for 4 players.

The changes for 2 and 3 players are described on the rules 2-Player Game (Dummy Player) and 3-player game.

We explain the game as if you were playing it. This is also how you can explain it to the other players after reading the rules.

1. Place the Game board in the center of the table with the side for 4 and 5 players visible.

2. Return the 10 Actions cards with and the 4 with symbols next to the title to the box.

Sort the remaining Action cards into stacks according to their backs (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 ).

Shuffle each stack and place them face down in a row. Stacks 1 through 4 each contain 10 cards. Stack 5 only contains the King’s card “Your Majesty”.

3. Place both Scoring tiles next to the game board.

4. Place the Round marker on the first spot of the round track.

5. Place the Castillo on the designated space on the game board.

6. Each player chooses a color. For example, you choose purple. Place the corresponding Score markers on the 0 spot of the scoring track.

7. Each player takes the 13 Power cards in their color. These cards make up your hand. You may look at them at any time. The 16 Power cards with gray backs are a mini expansion, you do not need it for your first game.

Each player takes a Secret disc.

8. Shuffle the 9 Region cards and make a face down stack.

Reveal a card and place the King in the region shown on the card. The region occupied by the King is referred to as the King’s region.

Finally, return all Region cards to the box.

9. Each player takes 7 Caballeros in their color and places them in their personal supply, referred to from now on as their Court. On cards, we use this symbol for your Court.

Place all the remaining Caballeros (21 per color) next to the game board so that ever-yone can reach them. This general supply is called the Province .
