Components
- 75 Map Sheets (double sided)
- 3 Beacon Cards
Changes to Setup
Players collectively decide which side of the map sheet to use (K1 or K2).
Shuffle the three beacon cards, then draw one randomly. Place this card near the other four scoring cards in play, face up, so that there are five scoring cards total in play for the game.
Return the other two beacon cards to the game box.
Beacon Lighting
Beacons count as mountain spaces. Like mountains, each beacon has four adjacent spaces. When a player surrounds a beacon, instead of gaining a coin, they fill in the beacon symbol to indicate that the beacon has been lighted.
Beacon Scoring
During scoring at the end of each season, players score their lighted beacons, based on the beacon card. Record the reputation stars earned or lost from the Goldbelly Mountain beacon and the Redtooth Peak beacon in the indicated boxes.
In solo mode, at the end of the game, subtract the number found in the lower right corner of the beacon scoring card from your total score before you find your rating.
Beacon Range
Some beacon cards refer to a beacon's range. The range of each beacon is marked by a dotted line that encloses a shaded area. All spaces within the shaded area are considered to be within range of that beacon.
