Turn structure:

• Play a political card (if you have one)
• Spend your military actions to build military units, and civil actions to:
  • pick cards from the card rows
  • play cards to your tableau
  • increase your population
  • build/upgrade farms, mines, or urban buildings

Symbols and counters:

• yellow counters represent your population. They can be in one of three places:
  • on your farms, mines, urban buildings, or military units (representing workers)
  • on your available population, which are available to place on your cards
  • on your "yellow bank" -- when this is empty, you can no longer increase your available population
• blue counters represent food or resources. They can be in two places:
  • on your farms or mines
  • on your "blue bank" -- when this is empty, you can no longer produce
• white circles (on some cards) represent civil actions
• red circles (on some cards) represent military actions
