Joining In Mid-game

If a player wishes to join a game in mid-play, he simply draws one of the remaining Coat of Arms and Loyalty cards, and sits to the immediate left of King Arthur (or the player who started the game, if King Arthur is not in play). He then sets his Life dice to 4, draws 5 White cards from the top of the White draw pile, places his miniature in Camelot and waits for his turn to arrive.

If a player wishes to leave a game, he is considered to have immediately met a premature death. …

At the start of the game, in a gesture of the collaboration to come, each player must select one White card from his hand and place it, face up, on the Round Table. A discussion should ensue about how to best share those cards among all the Knights.

A Knight, in a noble gesture, may voluntarily take none of the shared cards, while others may pick up several. If there is disagreement (not a good omen of things to come!), the offered cards are shuffled and redistributed randomly to each player. You are now ready to begin. …

• Before the game, look over the different tiles at your leisure. They depict 1, 2, or 3 landscapes in different combinations, but they do not contain all possible combinations! There is no tile with 4 landscapes.

• For each landscape type there are 4 different animals, which appear 4 times each.

• For all landscape tiles applies the following: On one side is always a holohedral landscape.

• If you get stuck, try advancing from another direction. The tile you're looking for may have been used by another player.

• Sometimes it makes sense to place tiles with misconnections, when the points gained outweigh the penalty. …

Object of the Game

To win by moving all of your checkers to your home board and then bear them all off.

Setup

Set up the board like this and figure out which is your home board so you'll know where it is that you have to move your checkers to before you can begin to bear them off.

Both players roll one dice each and the higher roll indicates who is to go first. The player throwing the higher number now moves his checkers according to the numbers showing on both dice. After the first roll, the players throw two dice and take alternate turns. …

1. Do not neglect the civilization cards! Apart from the immediate gain of resources, food, and so on, they can earn a player many points during final scoring.

2. Collect the civilization cards with the final scoring in mind. A wide selection of cards is usually not as effective as cards which work together.

   If you plan to add people to your player board, you must also plan increased food production to feed them. If you work this strategy properly, at game end you will have many people and your food marker wil be high on the food track. …
