Rio Grande Games 233 Board Games User Manual


 
If just 1 player has the most family members
in a district, but multiple players tie for
second, the player with the most places 2
family members into the city. The players with
the second most move none, as there can be a
maximum of only 3 occupied houses in a
district’s city area.
In this manner, the houses in each district’s
city area will fill up. For each family member a
player moves to the city, he takes 1 province
tile of the matching province color from the
general supply. Players always keep their
collected province tiles visible in their play
areas.
A player who has collected a complete set of
6 different-colored province tiles immediately
returns them to the general supply and moves
his scoring markers forward as follows:
- 28 points after the 2nd round,
- 24 points after the 4th round, and
- 20 points after the 6th round.
After the 6th round’s scoring is completed,
players may also turn in sets of 5 different-
colored province tiles, scoring 10 points per
set. Finally, players score 1 point for each
remaining province tile they have.
4.2 Returning family members
Players with at least 1 family member in a city
may choose to return as many of them as they
like to the districts. To do this, each player
with family members in the city at issue places
1 or more return cards face down in front of
himself. Then, all participating players turn
their cards face up at the same time. The sum
of the numbers of a player’s return cards
shows how many family members the player has chosen to return
from the city to the districts connected to it. Beginning with the
starting player, each player then moves this number of family
members back to the districts they came from.
For each of a player’s family members still in the city when the
return is finished, the player scores:
- 4 points after the 2nd round,
- 3 points after the 4th round, and
- 0 points after the 6th round.
Additionally, the player with the most remaining family members
in the city scores 4 points. In case of a tie, the tied player with
family members in the greatest number of city districts scores the 4
points. If there is still a tie, the points get divided (rounding down
where necessary). Afterward, place all family members remaining
in the city back into the box; they are now out of the game.
Both players have 4 family members in the
city. Red moves 2 back into the province, blue
moves only 1 back. For the figures remaining
in the city, the players earn points: blue earns
4 points, as he has the most family members in
the city.
