Setup

During Game Setup, mix the Emperor's Favour tiles together facedown. Randomly select a number of tiles equal to the player number and place them faceup next to the game board. These create the display of tiles you can buy this game. Return all remaining tiles back to the box, you won't need them for this game.

Acquiring an Emperor's Favour Tile

At the beginning of your turn, you may choose to forego all of your actions for that turn in order to acquire 1 Emperor's Favour tile by flipping 2 of your unused bonus tokens over and placing them both to the right of your writing desk (they will still count at the end of the game when calculating the prestige points for bonus tokens). You may only acquire 1 Emperor's Favor tile per turn.

Place the acquired Emperor's Favour tile faceup in front of you. Four of these tiles grant you permanent advantages during the game and two earn you additional prestige points at the end of the game.

Emperor's Favour Tiles

During the game

  • Displacement: Whenever you are displaced, you can place your displaced tradesmen on free connection points of trade routes of your choice instead of on adjacent trade routes.
  • Additional action: From now on, you have 1 additional action available each turn. (This makes it possible to perform more than 5 actions per turn.)
  • Income: Whenever another player carries out the Income action, you may take 1 tradesman from the general stock and place it in your personal supply.
  • Displaced traders: Whenever one of your traders is displaced, you receive 2 tradesmen from the general stock instead of 1.

At the end of the game

  • Most trading posts: At the end of the game, you gain 2 additional prestige points for each city in which you have established the most trading posts (i.e. a total of 4 instead of 2).
  • Fully developed abilities: At the end of the game, you gain 7 prestige points instead of 4 for each fully developed ability.
