About the game
The objective of the game is to have the most accumulated gold by the end of the game among the players still in contention. Turn Sequence The active player plays a card from their hand onto the track. They draw a card from the deck to replenish their hand to 2 cards. End of turn. Change of active player in a clockwise direction. To play a card, the active player MUST overlay one of their squares on one of the two ends of the track. To do so, they overlay the square on their card onto the selected end's square. Note: the associated square colors must match (except for multicolored squares). Next, the active player applies, if possible, the effect of their overlaid square and ends their turn by replenishing their hand. It's then the next player's turn, proceeding clockwise, to begin their turn. —description from the publisher Dans la forêt de Nottingham, l’or du roi est transporté vers son château, mais le parcours ne se fera pas sans encombre : de nombreux brigands sont cachés dans celle-ci. Nos chers gobelins sont là eux aussi mais pour rendre l’or au pauvre peuple,...Ou pour le garder pour eux ? But du jeu Être le joueur ayant accumulé le plus d’or en fin de partie parmi les joueurs toujours en lice. Tour de jeu Le joueur actif joue une carte de sa main sur le parcours. Il prend une carte de la pioche pour compléter sa main à 2 cartes. Fin de tour. Changement du joueur actif dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre. Pour jouer une carte, le joueur actif DOIT super- poser une de ses cases sur une des 2 extrémités du parcours. Pour ce faire, il superpose la case de sa carte sur celle de l’ extrémité sélectionnée. Attention: les couleurs de cases associées doivent correspondre (sauf les multicolores). —description from the publisher (French)
