Description

In the role of supplicants at the king's court, the players try to gain influence and are even the simple farmers or maids help and if all else fails are buffoons and charlatans available. Of course, bishops, nobles and generals have more influence, but on the one hand, these are not available to all and, secondly, the road is long with them. Those who ultimately creates the queen by her ladies or other " slime " to wrap around the finger almost won.

All these characters can be found on playing cards. At the beginning of different quantities are designed depending on the number of players. The players first start with 3 dice after each throw of which at least one must be selected in each round. After the last cube was laid out to the players for the result achieved can select a card that helps him in the later rounds to achieve better results. For the following results maps are obtained:

• 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, the same cube: Bauer, guard, hunter, knight, commander, Queen and King
• 15, 20, 30 or more eyes on the dice: artisans, traders, pawnbrokers
• All dice is odd or even numbers: servant or philosopher
• Two and three pairs: astronomer and bishop
• Full House and two triplets: maid of honor and noble
• Road of length 5 and 6: Wizard and Alchemist

Can you achieve none of these results, one must take the court jester or if this has already turn on the charlatan page.

The cards provide the following advantages:

• Take one or two extra dice on hand: Bauer, charlatan, Commander ( 2)
• For a cube, a 1, 2 or 3, or to add any number of a certain number: maid, maid of honor ( 1), Edelmann ( 2)
• Distribute any eye numbers between 2 or 3 dice: philosopher or alchemist
• A cube made of a specific or any number to basket: Craftsman ( 1), Security Guard ( 2) Hunter (3), Pawn Shops ( 4), Knight (5 ), Bishop (6 ), Queen (? )
• One or any number of dice toss again: jester, dealer
• A cube on an already laid out or rotate any number: astronomer or wizards

Once the first player has thrown seven equal cubes, he may take the King card, which will determine the end of the game or choose a different card. In the latter case will be thrown to another player, the king card takes. The first player throws the dice 7, like always receives the queen. If the king card taken, any player can try in a last round of dice to exceed that of the first player's seven equal cubes. Initially, the number is valid and the same number of the value of the cube, and the order in which they are obtained. If a player manages the player who triggered the end of the game to be outdone, he receives the King Card Player. However, this may in a last attempt to try again to get a better result, which helps him to the Queen.

If he succeeds in this, he has won the game, otherwise the player with the King card.

The key in the game so the clever use of character cards to get certain cards. It also depends on the order, because the more dice you have, the harder it is likely to be just throwing odd or even numbers, unless you have the right support. Whereas it does not matter for a full house what the other dice show.
