The Elven king is dead, and players are competing to become the next king. This game is similar in nature to Elfenroads/Elfenland in that players try to visit as many cities as possible using optimal transportation cards; what's different is that the lay of the land is also dictated by card play. Other players may interfere with your journey through the use of thieves, obstacles, and sea serpents.

Las reglas más útiles para jugar bien la primera partida.
During preparation, deal 10 cards from the shuffled deck to each player. This is the starting hand size, which differs from the 8 cards dealt at the start of subsequent rounds.
During preparation, give each player 12 gold coins (or tokens) as their starting treasury. Gold is the primary currency and victory resource of the game.
The total number of rounds played equals the number of players in the game, to a maximum of 5. For example, a 3-player game lasts 3 rounds; a 5-player game lasts 5 rounds.
During the Planning phase, one valid action is to play village cards to the table. In games with 3 or more players, a player may play a maximum of 2 village cards. In a 2-player game, a player may play a maximum of 3 village cards. Village cards form the route that players travel during the Journeying phase.
If a player does not wish to play any village cards during their Planning phase, they may declare 'No Village Card!' as their action. This is a distinct, explicit action and counts as that player's Planning action for the round.
As a Planning action, a player draws 3 cards from the deck, adding them to their hand, and then discards 4 cards from their hand (net loss of 1 card). This allows hand refinement at the cost of one card.
During the Planning phase, one valid action is to buy a card. The specific cost and source of bought cards are governed by the card acquisition rules. Buying a card counts as the player's entire Planning action for the round.
As a Planning action, a player may play one of the following special card types to the table: Gold, Thief, Tree, or Monster card. These cards have effects that trigger during the Journeying phase. Playing one of these cards is the player's entire Planning action for the round.
The 10-gold all-villages bonus is one of the largest single gold gains in the game. Prioritize playing Tree and/or Monster cards during Planning to gain extra moves, increasing your chances of reaching every village. In a 2-player game, also leverage the higher village-play limit (3 cards) to control more of the route.
The Gold card doubles all gold collected from villages visited. Use it in rounds where many high-value villages (Lake=7, Desert=6, Mountains=5) are on the table and when you have extra-move cards to visit more villages. The doubling effect stacks multiplicatively with the number and value of villages visited.
Playing a Thief card forces opponents who journey through that location to pay you 2 gold. Placing it in a high-traffic position—ideally on a route opponents cannot avoid—generates passive income across multiple journeys.
The draw-3-discard-4 action costs you a net card but can dramatically improve hand quality. Use it when your hand lacks key cards (village types, Gold, or movement cards) heading into a pivotal round. Remember your hand drops to 8 cards each round, so card efficiency matters.
High-value village cards (Lake at 7, Desert at 6) are scarce (only 2 and 3 copies respectively), making them disproportionately powerful to play and journey through. Prioritize holding and playing these when combined with a Gold card for maximum returns.
The Escort card protects against one realm's hazard (most notably Thieves). In rounds where multiple Thief cards are on the table, an Escort can save you 2+ gold and is worth playing before your journey to protect against the most costly toll.
Yes. The Gold card doubles all gold collected from villages visited, and the 10 bonus gold for visiting all villages is awarded separately and in addition to the doubled gold.
No. The Escort card protects the journeying player in one realm, which includes protection from the Thief's 2-gold toll. Once the Escort's protection is used for that realm, it is spent.
Yes. Extra move cards (Tree, Monster/Sea Monster) extend the journey by additional steps. If using these extra moves allows the player to visit every village on the table, they qualify for the 10-gold bonus.
Players start round 1 with 10 cards (dealt during setup). At the end of each round, only 8 new cards are dealt for the next round. So from round 2 onward, players begin with 8 cards, not 10.
In a 2-player game, a player may play up to 3 village cards during their Planning phase, compared to the standard maximum of 2 for games with 3 or more players.
Drawing 3 and discarding 4 results in a net loss of 1 card from your hand. This action refines your hand at the cost of one card overall.
