AIM OF THE GAME
—-—-—-—-=-—-—-—-—
Players build houses and the central castle in the town of
Arkadia. For constructing houses, they get seals of the four
families. Whenever a house is completed, castle construction
is continued. Subject to the family’s contribution to the castle
construction, the value of the family’s seal changes. In the
course of the game, each player can convert his seals into
gold – he may decide when to do this himself. The player
with the most gold wins the game.

WELCOME TO ARKADIA
—-—-—-—-—-—-=-—-—-—-—-—-—
In a remote land there lies a region with undulating hills and fertile valleys. Widely-travelled
settlers have laid the foundation stone for the city of Arkadia. In addition to several other
buildings they want to construct a magnificent castle on a hill. Four wealthy families – the cloth
merchants, the spice merchants, the carpenters and the silversmiths – want to enhance prestige
and augment their influence. For this reason, they compete for the major contribution to the castle’s
construction. Players act as architects. The four families commission them to plan and realise the
build-up of the town and the castle.
