Game sequence

In “Lions of Lydia”, players reihum draw merchants from their bags and send them to various places in the city. The merchants sent to the gates collect and exchange resources and coins, while

buy and upgrade the merchants sent to the well. Once a player has upgraded a certain number of countries (2 players - 8 cards, 3 players - 7 cards, 4 players - 6 cards), the game is over and the

Players compare their winning points to determine the most respected nobleman or the most respected noblewoman of the kingdom!

Train

At each turn, take the following steps:

1. You're pulling a merchant out of your bag.
2. This merchant is at one of the gates or at the well; you then execute the actions that are possible in the respective place (see the following sections “Tor Actions” and “Brunn Actions”).
3. Then select any merchant from the well and place it in your bag. That's the end of your move.
4. If identical-colored merchants are in the gate fields, they are pushed together into the well area.

Gates

Create a merchant at one of the four goal fields:

1. A resource in the color of the noble gate.
2. Resources in the colors of merchants at the gate. A resource for each merchant.

In addition, all resource bonuses are paid out from your country.

The golden lydical merchant

If you set a lyd merchant to a gate or if you already find one, you may also exchange the resources in the color of the gate for coins.

You can only have as many countries as you have on your influencing bar. (3 / 5 / 8 / 9 and more)

Fountain field

If you send your merchant to the fountain field in the middle of the schedule, you can purchase new lands (2) or upgrade your own lands (4).

To purchase or upgrade a country, you must be able to pay the costs of resources (usually 3 resources or money) in the upper part of the card.

1. You can purchase as many countries as you like, but they all have to come from one of the 4 areas.
2. You can always upgrade as many of your canals in your possession as you like and can afford.

Coins always count as a joker for any resource.

Influence bar and bonuses

Whenever one of your resources reaches the value 6, you will immediately receive a bonus and you may choose either:

1. Increase your influence on the influencing bar. (In order to be able to own more countries, to receive money and win points.

or

1. Upgrade your land to your property for free.

Playing

The game ends when a player or a player has reached the required number of upgraded countries and all other players have performed a final game.

The player who first reached the required number of upgraded lands receives the fountain bonus that is worth one point at the end of the game.

Final value

The total number of points is as follows.

1. the points of victory displayed on your silver and golden cards below;
2. the points of victory displayed on the field of the influencing bar and reached by you,
3. the determined value of all your purple cards,
4. the fountain bonus for the player who launched the game.

At the same time, the player who is further advanced on the influencing bar should also be a match here so the player wins with more resources and coins.

Additional modules
