Gustav Vasa has liberated the Swedes from the Danish oppression and risen to the throne. But the new King’s position is weak, as is his Kingdom. Sweden is indebted to the Hansaetic League, Denmark has not given up her claim to the Swedish crown and Europe suffers from religious turmoil. But this is also an opportunity to start something new. By developing the economy, reforming the taxation and building a national army, Gustav Vasa sets out to consolidate his dynasty and his Kingdom. Take advantage of natural resources, encourage domestic manufacturing, establish overseas markets and engage in profitable wars to pursue the King's will. This is only the foundation of a strong and powerful nation! Take turns to add estate cards to a card tableau. Each placed estate card lets you execute all the actions of the estate cards in that column. Peasant: Place farms or sell resources to shops. Burgher: Place shops or use buy basic resources from shops to turn them into advanced resources. Clergy: Place churches to collect tax from farms or supply Royal missions with advanced resources. Nobility: Add provinces to the Kingdom or supply Royal missions with advanced resources. Resources enter and exit the city to and from different sides of the city grid. As more advanced resources enter the economy, they can be invested in advanced farms and shops that enable the production of advanced resources within the Kingdom. However, such actions also require a combination of two similar estate cards in the same column so plan your card tableau wisely. The players who has supplied the most resources to the Royal Missions wins.
