Publisher: Space Cowboys

french version

Players take on the role of Renaissance merchants who try to buy gem mines, transportation, shops, all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even get a visit from a nobleman at some point, which, of course, will further increase your prestige. On your turn, you can (1) collect tokens (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve a card. If you collect tokens, you either take three different types of tokens or two tokens of the same type. If you buy a card, you pay its price in tokens and add it to your game area.

To reserve a card, in order to be sure to get it or, why not, that your opponents do not get it, you place it in front of you face down for a later construction; It costs you a spin, but you also get gold in the form of a wild token, which you can use like any gem.

All the cards you buy increase your wealth because they give you a permanent bonus of gems for later purchases; Some cards also give you prestige points. To win the game, you need to reach 15 prestige points before your opponents.
