Simple, yet complex......
Roll the dice up to three times and use strategy on your rolls to gain the most points. With your intelligence (and maybe a little luck) on your side, you can dominate the competition!

A friend told me I would love this game since I love playing Civilization, Banished, and all other city-building games. Can someone tell me more about it? Any tips or strategy to share with a newbie?

This is a game that I would consider a modern board gaming classic. A map is made up of various resource tiles, ranging from sheep, ore, wood, clay and wheat. Up to 4 players pit themselves against one another to achieve 10 victory points, either from building additional settlements (you start with 2, each one being worth 1 point), upgrading settlements to a city (1 extra point per city), owning the longest road, having the largest army (determined by the number of knight cards drawn from a deck), or achieving victory points directly through acquisition from said deck. This is a game where it is important to ensure you have a good mix of resources, as they are all required at some stage, as well as negotiating with the other players for appropriate resources. They will of course scupper your efforts along the way, so it is a fine line between getting what you want Vs satisfying your need for revenge when someone manages to steal some of your resources or builds a settlement on a spot you needed. In terms of strategy, one should always remember that this game is based on die rolls and is therefore strategy based on chance. To make the best of the game, it is often prudent to seek to have settlements on locations which may provide for the full spread of resources as well as having a port position to allow for trading with the bank, where other players will not oblige. Additionally, 2 roads are require dbetween each settlement, therefore working towards a triangual position of three settlements is optimal, where possible, based on where other players are on the board.
