Object of the Game

Players allocate workers and play visitors to complete various tasks throughout the seasons (each worker is placed on one action each year). In the spring, players decide the schedule their workers will follow. …

When a player plays a summer or winter visitor card, the action described on the card is taken immediately and the card is discarded, ending any bonuses granted by that card.

Visitor cards are played by placing a worker on the play summer/winter visitor card action spaces. No additional worker is required to take the action described on the card.

You may only play a visitor card if you are able to fully resolve the effect on the card. For example, if a card says that you must give all opponents each to gain a benefit, you can only play that card if you have enough lira to pay to all other players. Multiple actions on visitor cards may be taken in any order. …

2. Place 1 glass token on each row of the wake-up chart.
