3. Move Caballeros from the court to the game board.
Note: this may be executed as Step 4 instead, if the player so chooses. The
maximum number of Caballeros that may be moved from the player's court
to the game board is shown along the bottom of the action card. These
Caballeros may be placed in any region adjacent to the current location of
the King and/or into the Castillo. The player may divide the Caballeros
between the adjacent regions and the Castillo in any way he sees fit.
Example 1: the King is in Galicia. A player can only move Caballeros to
Old Castile, to Basque Country, and/or into the Castillo.
Example 2: the King is in New Castile. A player can only move Caballeros
to Old Castile, Seville, Granada, Valencia, Aragon, and/or into the Castillo.
4. Execute the special action
Note: this may be executed as Step 3 instead, if the player so chooses. The
player must now decide whether or not to execute the special action depicted
in the picture and text of the chosen action card.
5. Lay aside the chosen action card.
After the player has completed his turn, he lays aside the card to show that
it may not be chosen by a later player. Now, the player with the second
highest power card takes his turn.
Next Round
After all of the players have finished their turns, discard any remaining face-up
action cards. Begin the next round by moving the round marker forward and
turning 5 new action cards face up. The King card is turned face up at the start
of each round and is never permanently discarded.

S REGION
The region where the King stands is called the King's region. The King’s region
has three meanings:
a) Placing of Caballeros: It determines which regions may receive Caballeros
from the courts - namely the regions adjacent to the King's Region and into
the Castillo! Special actions allow Caballeros to be moved to any region.
b) The King’s Region is taboo! No changes are allowed here! No Caballeros,
no Grande, and no mobile scoreboard may be moved into or taken out of
the King’s Region. The only exceptions are actions, which move the King!
c) King’s Bonus: The player with the most Caballeros in the King's Region
receives an additional 2 points whenever that region is scored. If there are
several players with the same number of Caballeros tied for the most, then
the King's Bonus is not awarded!
THE CASTILLO
The Castillo is a special location with the following special properties:
Caballeros may be placed in the Castillo any time one adds or moves
Caballeros, no matter where the King stands. When adding Caballeros to
the Castillo, players should clearly call out the number. It is advantageous to
keep track of who has Caballeros in the Castillo and how many. Otherwise,
the Caballeros the Castillo hides can surprise you at the next scoring.
