Build the castle and gain the favour of four powerful families in Arkadia!

Players use builders, cards, workers and neutral workers to build houses in Arkadia. Houses are built with the seal of one of 4 families; this family gave the building order and will get the building player its seal.

These seals can be changed for victory points. But seals are subject to changing values. The growing castle (every time a house is built, players also build on the castle) has the 4 seals on it as well, which decides the value of each seal.

The castle is also the games timer: once the second layer is built, the last round starts. The player with the most victory points wins.

Box contains:

  • 1 game board
  • 1 building lot for the castle
  • 4 screens
  • 16 architect banners
  • 40 building cards
  • 40 buildings
  • 88 seals
  • 90 gold coinds
  • 28 square seal tiles
  • 68 workers
  • 28 castle pieces
