How to Play: Placing Treasure

Index -> Playing the Game -> Game Setup -> Placing Treasure

Each treasure coin has a number indicating how much gold it is worth. For a 40-point game, each player contributes eight treasure coins totaling 15 gold points. These coins are shuffled and randomly distributed "face down," four to each wild island.

You can double-click on a treasure on the left side to add it to your treasure total. Or, click on a treasure to select it from the left side and then click the top sword to transfer it. If you change your mind, you can select a treasure on the right side and click the bottom sword to remove it. Once you select 8 coins that total exactly 15 gold points, you can click the Done button.

You can also press the Random key to create a selection of treasure for a standard game. Press again to get a different selection if you like, and press Done when you’re finished.

Unique Treasure

Some treasure is unique. A player can't contribute more than one unique treasure with the same name to the total treasure contributed to the game. At the beginning of the game, each unique treasure is worth 0 gold. A unique treasure's value may change later in the game, depending on its ability text. Players can insert unique treasure into the treasure that is randomly sorted and placed on islands. If you contribute unique treasure, however, the rest of the treasure you contribute must still total 15 gold points (for a 40-point game).

Once all treasure has been placed, the game begins.
