How to Win

There are 2 ways to win the game:


 * 1) Fulfill the objective stated on your Destiny Card, OR
 * 2) Host the Diplomat of the player who fulfills the objective of his own Destiny Card.

Destiny Cards
At the start of the game, each player is secretly given a Destiny Card, which contains the objective the player must fulfill in order to win the game. Players do not need to rule their own Capitals unless the card specifically states so.

Except for the King, whose Destiny Card is public information, Destiny Cards may never be revealed to other players. If a player accidentally reveals his card, its objective is forfeit and the player may only win via Diplomacy (see below).

Some Destiny Cards interrupt the game immediately when the objective is fulfilled. When this happens, the player reveals his card and announces his victory. If another player is hosting his Diplomat, he is also the winner.

The game continues until a total of 5 or more icons appear on the face-up Event Cards. When this happens, each player reveals his Destiny Card. A player who has completed the objective on his Destiny Card wins the game. If no one has completed his objective, then nobody wins.

Diplomats
Players use Diplomats to negotiate alliances and manipulate their enemies. Each Faction begins with a Diplomat token in its colour.

The King may not host other factions' Diplomats, but he may (and should) send his Diplomat to gain assistance and support from other factions.

Diplomatic Victory
If there is a winner at the end of the game, the player who hosts the Diplomat of the winner is also the winner.
