4.3 Cloisters
For each family member in a cloister, a player scores 4 points. These family members remain in
the cloisters.
5. Round end
At the end of each round, move the round marker forward 1 space and pass the
starting player figure 1 player to the left.
Exception: in a 4-player game, at the end of the 4th round, the player with the second
fewest points chooses the starting player for the 5th round (he can choose himself as well). At the
end of the 5th round, the player with the fewest overall points chooses the starting player for the
6th round (again, he can choose himself). If there is a tie, the player with the most monks
chooses.
Rules for 2 players
In addition to the family members chosen for the 2 players, you need family members of a third unused
color to serve as those of a neutral player. In the following examples, green is the color of the neutral
player. Before the game begins, place 1 family member of the neutral player into each district. Then, the 2
players each take 3 family members belonging to the neutral player. Beginning with the starting player, the players
must, in turns, place 1 family member of the neutral player into any district they choose, except that no district may
contain more than 3 neutral family members.
Play the rest of the game according to the
normal rules, but with the following change:
when scoring (Phase 4), the neutral player
moves his family members into the city as
usual. If the neutral player then has the sole
majority in that city, the starting player
returns only that number of family members
to the district that are necessary for the
neutral player to hold his majority. The
starting player gets to choose which family
members the neutral player returns, as long
as the neutral player ends up maintaining his
majority relationships. If the neutral player
does not have the sole majority in the city,
he will move all of his family members back
into the districts in Phase 4.2. The neutral
player does not collect province tiles or
points, but does hinder others in their efforts
to do so. Before the start of the 3rd and 5th
rounds, both players again take 3 neutral
family members and place them, just as at
the start of the game, into districts of their
choosing, bearing in mind that there can
never be more than 3 neutral family members in a given district.
The neutral player (green) has the majority in the city with 4 family members. The two
other players have 2 family members each in the city. Green will retain his majority if he
keeps 3 family members in the city. The start player decides which family member green
move back into the district.
All players have 2 family members in the city. The neutral player (green) does not have
the majority in the city. The two other players have 2 family members each in the city. As
green does not have the majority, he moves all his family members back into the district.
