Description

The knights of the round table are picking their new leader. All the players raise their swords. But be careful – not everyone is loyal to the kingdom. You need to guess how many players are friendly to the crown. Correct predictions are rewarded with gemstones. The player with the most valuable collection of gemstones is the winner.

Short game instructions:
1. Put the crown and the tiles face down in the center of the table. Have the pouch of gemstones ready. Everyone takes a sword.
2. Play turns in a clockwise direction.
3. The player whose turn it is secretly looks at two shield tiles. Swing swords: On command, everyone simultaneously extends their sword either to the crown or into the air. Does the number on one of the two shield tiles match the number of swords pointing at the crown? Then take a gemstone from the pouch! Otherwise, carry on empty-handed. Then it’s the next player’s turn.
4. As soon as someone has collected 2 gemstones of the same color or 4 in different colors they are the winner!
