On the Age of Faith board, if the player controls the most prestigious
Religious building on a domain, he collects its Civil power in Ecus:
meaning the sum of the values of all Civil buildings present on the
domain. The player collects these donations from all the domains under
his control.
On the Age of Reason board, if the player possesses the majority of
Control cubes in the Civil buildings on a domain, he collects the
Military and Religious power of the domain. This means the sum of
the values of all Military and Religious buildings present. The player
collects revenue from all domains under his control. If several players
have equal numbers of Control Cubes on a domain, each player will
collect these taxes and tithes on his turn.
At the end of his turns, the player may discard (first) any Construction
cards that he did not play and draws cards until he again has 4 in his
hand. These cards shouldn’t be shown to other players before they are
played. If there are no more cards in the draw pile, the discard pile is
shuffled and turned over to make a new draw pile.
The game is over after the last player has collected revenue from his
domains on the 7th turn. Each player counts up their Ecus and the
richest player is declared the winner.
Optional Rule
« Hold’em »
This optional rule is designed to take away a bit of randomness from
the draw, giving you a choice of which cards to draw at the cost of
revealing that choice to your opponents.
This choice is not obligatory. The player can also, even before using
this option, change all of their cards by spending 2 ecus.
At the beginning of the game, three cards are turned face up next to the
draw pile: one civil card, one military card and one religious card.
At the beginning of his game turn, a player can decide to exchange as
many cards of the same type as they wish amongst these three cards,
with the same number of cards from their hand. 3 cards are therefore
always available for the entire game. The cards will change as the
players exchange cards from their hands with those on the table.
2.5. Renovating a Military or Religious building
on the Age of Reason game board
It is forbidden to construct any military building or religious building
on the age of Reason board. A player may still use Construction cards,
both military and religious, to restore existing buildings.
To restore a Watch Tower a player must spend one Military Construction
card. To restore a monastery a player must spend one Religious
Construction card.
To restore a Castle a player must spend 2 Military Construction cards.
These cards may be played on two different turns and by two different
players. To mark the first card spent, the player places a control cube
on the ruin. To restore an Abbey 2 Religious Construction cards must
be spent. Similar to the rule for restoring Castles, the Abbey may be
restored progressively. To mark the first card spent, the player places a
control cube on the ruin.
A restored building is turned over to the opposite side of the ruin and
any previous cube markers are placed back in their owner’s stock pile.
The renovation of a building increases the value of its domain during
the Age of Reason.
On the 4th and 7th turns, each player collects income from domains at
the end of his turn. A player cannot collect earnings from the boards if
he does not have at least one Adventurer there (and then).
On the Age of Might board, if the player controls the most prestigious
Military building on a domain, he collects its Civil power in Ecus:
meaning the sum of the values of all Civil buildings present on the
domain. The player collects these revenue taxes from all the domains
under his control.
