How to play

This is a turn based multiplayer board game.

When your turn arrives you will see your tile in the bottom right corner.

Place your tile by tapping on the board so that it matches the existing ones.

You can zoom the game are by pinch or with the zoom buttons.

You can rotate with the rotate button on the right side. The tile will only rotate into good positions.

Put one of your meeples (the little avatars at the top) on the tile by clicking on a red circle. This way you can occupy a city, castle, road, cloister or field (an entity).

Click 'Submit' - the program will warn you if the tile doesn't match or if the entity was already occupied.

When you complete an occupied entity you get points for it and your player(s) are returned.

During the game you get points when you complete a city, castle, road, river, field or cloister occupied by you.

If more than one player occupies a city the one with the most meeples will get the points.

The game ends when all tiles are placed.

At the end of the game you also get points for uncompleted entities.

Carcassonne, Seven Castles and Seven Seas game types each have a different scoring.
