Each player has a certain number of top hat figures representing errand boys. The number of errand boys depends on the number of players and on whether you are playing 2 or 3 competitions. In order, as shown by the markers on the central board, players take < J turns placing an errand boy on an unoccupied space on one of the game boards. When you p...
In order, as shown on the central board, each player has one turn to play actions. Actions are represented by cards. You may play as many as you like on your turn, in any order. Your ability to save cards for later rounds is limited. At the end of the round you must discard down to 4 cards.
Taking the Central Card
Each round has a different central card. This card is special because it ties the competitions together. If you are playing with all 3 competitions, this works like any other errand space. When you place your errand boy on the space, you take the card. Do not reveal a new one until next round. With only 2 competitions, taking the central card temporarily ties up an extra errand boy. To take the card, you send two errand boys instead of one. When everyone is playing their last errand boys, you...
Reserving a Spot in the Order
Send an errand boy here to reserve that spot in the play order next round. Your play order will not actually change until the end of the round, as explained on page 10. At the beginning of the game, it is an advantage to go first. In later rounds, you might want to go last if you are deciding whether to end the game. Going last may also be an advantage in Hyde Park. When you play here, you also choose and take one of the available bonus action tiles. Most of these have an action that you may...
Renaissance Man Tile
Play here to take the renaissance man tile. This tile gives you two symbols for this round. These symbols can work in combination with cards you use during your actions phase. The two symbols may be the same or different. You do not specify a symbol until you use it. Once chosen, the symbol cannot be changed, but you can use it every time the symbol applies for the rest of the round. You return the renaissance man tile to the central board at the end of the round whether you have used it or not.
A true prodigal casts away his material things. That would be easier to accomplish if you did not have so many of them. But through shrewd exchanges, even a princely gentleman such as yourself can someday trade places with the pauper.
The voters in your district are honorable men. When someone buys their vote, their vote stays bought ... usually. Your father has already spent a hefty sum on this election. To lose, you will have to be extraordinarily impolitic.
When you are playing the election competition, the round ends with a rousing speech in Hyde Park. The object of your speech, of course, is to lose plenty of votes. But your fellow prodigals are also trying to lose votes, so this becomes a competition to see who can be loudest. Certain errands and actions have earned you megaphones. Count up all the...
You are well liked by four of society's most influential people. But with a little bad behaviour, you can change that.
