Estate: Raise the Realm

Opis w języku angielskim: It is a time of rebuilding after the Great War. Do you have what it takes? In Estate, players take on the role of a Noble Leader of a Great House who is bequeathed an Estate post war. Each Leader begins the game with resources, a special ability, a unique build of construction(s) and/or citizen(s) cards within their Estate, a Family Secret objective, and workers prepared to rebuild. A worker placement reconstruction challenge, players must use their workers wisely to optimize their Estate’s growth over the five Eras of game play. Workers can be used to take one of four main actions each turn: play citizen/construction Estate Cards, gather resources from the center game board, produce on Production Cards within their growing Estate, and draw new citizen/construction Estate Cards to join the cause. As the Eras progress and your Estate grows, worker actions become more powerful. Don’t forget the Era Events! Revealed at the start of each Era, Era Events impact game play (either positively or negatively) for that Era while also introducing a public Era Objective players can compete for. Time is limited and not on your side, and careful consideration must be made when determining the best actions for your rise to power. Optimizing your leader’s special ability and family secret objective will also provide valuable victory points at game end. Game Play: Estate is played over a series of five Eras (rounds). Within each Era, players take turns placing one worker at a time, proceeding clockwise. The Era ends when each player has used all available workers. Era Start: At the start of each Era, an Era Event is revealed and its effect announced. Era Events have consequences that affect the game play for the duration of the Era and also introduce an Era Objective that players compete for, with awards for 1st: 6 Victory Points, 2nd: 1 Card & 1 Resource, and 3rd: 1 Resource.
