Flow of the game

Spielfeld

The game is played in several rounds. For each round 2 cards per player are dealt out in the middle of the table. The cards are grouped by food type and placed in the middle of the table(between the King's plates and the player's. If a Dragon card was drawn, Emerald the Dragon, would be shown next to the King. Lastly, the number of cards remaining is shown in the Kitchen(56 in this example).

Example: In the above view of the Interface.

  • The number of dishes of each type that the King has are shown in the top row of plates.
  • The Number of dishes currently available to be taken in the middle row. In this example we have 1 Bread, 2 Wine 1 Chicken 1 Cake and 1 Cheese.
  • The Number of dishes of each type that you have, are shown on the bottom set of plates.

The current player's name is underlined. Each round is started by a different player. At the end of each round, any plates that remain in the middle are given to the King. The game ends when there are not enough cards left to deal out 2 per player. At this point the scoring occurs.

  • If you had more portions than the king in a dish of food then you score 0 points for that dish.
  • For each dish that you had the same or less than the king you multiply the number of portions you took times the number of portions the king took.

Whoever has most points after the adding up all the dishes, wins the game. If there is a tie then there may be several winners.
