Structures — Cards and matching Tiles

Each structure card shows, from top to bottom: the reference number, the name, the year of completion, and its effects and costs. There is 1 tile for each structure; only the Community Garden "In den Hufen" (25) has 4 tiles.

Effects and costs are shown as: Cost, Income, Production, Immediate Bonus, and Permanent effect.

Some tiles have house or roadbed spaces.

Warehouses

Each warehouse card has 10 goods spaces to store peat, bricks, and rails.

Start tile

The start tile is the big peat boat.

Action tiles

Action tiles show a reference number, and their costs and effects: Cost, Purchase, Hiring, Production, Sale.

Production tiles

Production tiles show a reference number, and their goods and costs: Cost, 1 worker, 2 workers, Peat, Brick, Rail. Each player also starts with a starting production tile "2 peat".

Changes for the Solo Game

When you are playing the solo game of Findorff, follow all rules as explained on the next pages. There are only very few additions for the Council of Findorff, as they force the roadbed construction and speed up the game. You find these rules additions on page 7.

Game Preparation

1. Place the game board on the table. Place the discount tile below the time track, so that the arrow points to space "1803" and the tile protrudes to the left of the game board.

2. Sort the 20 production tiles by type in 7 stacks. Then, sort each stack by costs in thalers (cheapest tile on top). Place each stack with costs face up on its market space.

   Solo game: Return the production tile "2 bricks" with costs of 10 thalers in the game box.

3. Sort the action tiles by type in 4 stacks depending on the number of players. Then, sort each stack by costs in thalers (cheapest tile on top). Place each stack with costs face up on its market space. The action symbols are also shown next to the market spaces. Return the remaining action tiles in the game box.

   # of players	Purchase	Hiring	Production	Sale
   Solo & 2	3, 5, 7	6, 8, 10	5, 7, 9	2, 4, 6
   3	3, 4, 6, 7	6, 7, 9, 10	5, 6, 8, 9	2, 3, 5, 6
   4	3, 4, 5, 7, 8	6, 7, 8, 10, 11	5, 6, 7, 9, 10	2, 3, 4, 6, 7
   5	all	all	all	all

4. Place 30 peat on the peat market spaces with prices from 6 to 10 thalers, including the spaces marked with a star. Place the remaining peat, and all bricks, rails, workers, and thalers in a general supply (from now on supply) next to the game board.

   Solo game: Take 25 rails from the supply and place them separately in a Council's supply for the Council of Findorff.

5. Place the 28 structure tiles and the 5 structure action tiles next to the game board.

6. Each player takes 1 company board in a color of their choice and places their matching foreman on the topmost space of the action track. Each player also takes their 10 houses, 1 warehouse card, 1 bureaucracy overview card, 1 starting production tile "2 peat", and 1 worker from the supply, and places them next to their company board. They also take 2 peat from the supply and place them on empty spaces of their warehouse. Return remaining warehouse cards, foremen, houses and starting production tiles in the game box.

7. Determine a start player who places the big peat boat as the start token in front of them for the whole game. Beginning with the start player and then clockwise in turn order, take the following amount of thalers from the supply depending on the number of players:

   Players	first	second	third	fourth	fifth
   Thalers	16	18	20	22	24

   Solo game: Take 16 thalers.

8. When teaching the game, distribute the 25 structure cards depending on the number of players as follows:

   • Solo game: Shuffle all 25 structure cards and draw 14 cards. Return the remaining 11 structure cards in the game box. Note: If you draw Meat Market Hall but not Slaughterhouse, draw a replacement card and return Meat Market Hall to the game box (even if the replacement card is Slaughterhouse).

   • 2 players: Shuffle all cards and deal 9 cards face down to both players. Place the remaining 7 cards face up in the market.

   • 3 players: Sort the cards in 3 facedown sets each with 7 cards. Place the remaining 4 cards face up in the market. Each player takes one of the sets at random. Set 1: 1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 17, 22 Set 2: 2, 7, 8, 15, 19, 20, 23 Set 3: 10, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 25 Market: 5, 6, 9, 13

   • 4 players: Sort the cards in 5 facedown sets each with 5 cards. Each player takes one of these sets at random and place the remaining set face up in the market. Set 1: 1, 6, 9, 16, 24 Set 2: 2, 7, 15, 23, 25 Set 3: 3, 10, 11, 17, 21 Set 4: 4, 8, 12, 20, 22 Set 5: 5, 13, 14, 18, 19

   • 5 players: Sort the cards in 5 facedown sets each with 4 cards. Place the remaining 5 cards face up in the market. Each player takes one of the sets at random. Set 1: 1, 9, 16, 24 Set 2: 2, 7, 15, 23 Set 3: 3, 10, 17, 21 Set 4: 4, 8, 12, 20 Set 5: 5, 13, 14, 18 Market: 6, 11, 19, 22, 25

   If you all know how to play Findorff, for all following games you can shuffle all 25 structure cards and distribute them in one or more drafting rounds:

   Choose and keep some of the cards you received, before passing the other cards simultaneously to the left. Again, choose and keep some cards you received and so on.

   • Solo game: See above.

   • 2 players: Deal 9 cards face down to each player. Take a single drafting round: Choose 5 cards and pass the other 4 cards. Start the game with 9 cards in your hand. Afterward, place the remaining 7 cards face up in the market.

   • 3 players: Deal 7 cards face down to each player. Take two drafting rounds: First, choose 3 cards and pass 4 cards. Then, choose 2 cards and pass the other 2 cards. Start the game with 7 cards in your hand. Afterward, place the remaining 4 cards face up in the market.

   • 4 players: Deal 5 cards face down to each player. Take three drafting rounds: First, choose 2 cards and pass 3 cards. Then, choose 1 card and pass 2 cards. Finally, choose 1 card and pass the other card. Start the game with 5 cards in your hand. Afterward, place the remaining 5 cards face up in the market.

   • 5 players: Deal 4 cards face down to each player. Take three drafting rounds: First, choose 1 card for your hand and pass 3 cards. Then, choose 1 card and pass 2 cards. Finally, choose 1 card and pass the other card. Start the game with 4 cards in hand. Afterward, place the remaining 5 cards face up in the market.

   You are now ready to start Findorff!

General Ideas

Before we explain all rules in detail, we will welcome you with an overview about the basics in Findorff.

Main goal: To win a game of Findorff, your focus should be on raising the structures of Findorff you have in your hand and that are in the market, as they grant the most victory points at the end of the game. You also gain some victory points for remaining resources in your warehouse and unspent thalers.

Engine Builder: You build up your own companies by upgrading the four available actions, so you can play more effectively.

Individual actions and bureaucracy: You play in your own rhythm, and, thus, decide when and how often you take the Bureaucracy step.

Length of the game: The construction of the two roadbeds in the direction of Hamburg determines the length of the game. The game ends at the end of the round when you finish the second roadbed, so everybody has the same number of turns. You build the roadbeds by selling rails from your warehouse and by raising several structures. However, you build the most rails by taking the Bureaucracy step. The more of your houses you build in Findorff and the more workers you have, the more you speed up the game.

Bricks and houses: You use bricks to raise the structures and to build your houses. When you raise structures, several of them offer houses as a bonus or income as well.

Wooden components and thalers: The wooden components – peat, bricks, rails, workers, and houses, and the thalers are not limited. If the supply runs out of them, please use something else as a stand in.

General Rules

When playing Findorff, the following general rules affect several actions and the Bureaucracy step.

Roadbed Construction

You place rails on the roadbeds in the direction of Hamburg during the Purchase action by raising certain structures, during the Sale action by selling rails, and during the Bureaucracy step by building rails for each pair of your houses in Findorff and workers in your company.

Warehouse or supply: When raising structures and selling rails, you must take rails from your warehouse. During the Bureaucracy step, take rails from the supply.

Current roadbed: At the start of the game you construct the shorter roadbed (1), that runs from Park Rail Station in the direction of Rail Station Utbremen. Starting with the roadbed space next to (1), place each rail on the next empty space of the roadbed under construction. As soon as this roadbed is finished, place all further rails on the longer roadbed (2) that runs from Main Rail Station in the direction of Hamburg. Start again on the first roadbed space next to (2). The Slaughterhouse and Meat Market Hall have their own rail spaces on their structure tiles. When you raise these structures, place the rails on these spaces – see the glossary.

Several of the roadbed spaces affect the peat market – see next paragraph.

Example: Ann raises a structure, and as part of the cost, places 2 rails from her warehouse on the next empty spaces of the shorter roadbed (1).

Findorff's Demand for Peat

The peat market at the bottom of the game board represents the demand for peat in Findorff. While you sell peat solely to the market to earn some thalers, the residents living in Findorff consume peat. Additionally, the roadbed construction influences the amount of peat in the peat market.

Selling peat to the market: As part of the Sale action you place peat on the most expensive empty spaces of the market. Depending on the value of these spaces you gain thalers. If all spaces of the peat market are filled, you can still sell peat for 3 thalers, and place that peat in the supply. You never buy peat from that market, and instead transport peat with boats from the bog during the Production action.

Roadbed construction: During the first part of the game, peat is in high demand. When placing a rail on a roadbed space marked -1, -2, or -3 of the roadbed (1), immediately remove 1 to 3 peat from the cheapest occupied spaces of the peat market and place them in the supply. During the second part of the game, demand for peat is declining. When placing a rail on a roadbed space marked +1, +2, or +3 of the roadbed (2), immediately place 1 to 3 peat from the supply on the most expensive empty spaces of the peat market.

During the early 19th Century, the energy demand of Findorff was based on peat. Starting with the second half of the 19th Century, peat was more and more replaced by coal. Findorff needed less peat to cover their energy demand, and prices at the market dropped more and more.

Example: When paying the costs for the structure, Ann placed 1 rail on the roadbed space marked -1 (1). She removes 1 peat from the peat market and places it in the supply (2).

Heating the homes: The population of Findorff uses peat to heat their homes. Thus, during your Bureaucracy steps you remove peat from the cheapest occupied spaces of the peat market for each of your houses in Findorff.

If you need to remove peat from the cheapest occupied spaces of the peat market and the market is empty, skip this removal.

How to Play

Beginning with the start player, take turns in clockwise direction until the end of the game.

When taking your turn, choose 1 of the 4 available actions and place your foreman to the appropriate action space on your company board:

• Purchase: Upgrade the actions of your company, add more production options, or raise the structures of Findorff.
• Hiring: Hire workers to keep your production running.
• Production: Produce bricks and rails with your workers, and transport peat with the same workers by boat from the bog.
• Sale: Sell peat to the peat market, sell rails to build the roadbeds, or build houses for your workers in Findorff.

At the start of the game, you can use each action only once per turn. After upgrading certain actions by buying or gaining additional action tiles, in a single turn you can use these actions two times, three times and so on.

If you choose the same action, even several turns in a row, let your foreman remain on the current action space.

If you choose a different action, always move your foreman on the action track 1 to 3 spaces "downwards". The bottommost Sale action space is connected "in a circle" with the topmost Purchase action space. If your foreman leaves the action track at the bottom of the company board, first you must immediately take the Bureaucracy step, and then place your foreman again on the chosen action space of the action track. Afterward, take the chosen action.

This is important: You really can only move your foreman 0 to 3 spaces. And yes, this game rule is always in effect. Still, nearly in all games somebody asks, if the foreman can trigger the Bureaucracy step and still activate the same action again. Why does this happen? During the game, the Bureaucracy step gets better. Admittedly, you lose a worker, but your income increases and gets more attractive. If you could move 4 spaces, cash in, and then raise new cards, Findorff would be boring. Isn't it much more exciting to figure out, how to do that on your own?

Example: At the start of her turn, Ann's foreman is on the Production action space. Ann wants to take the Hiring action and moves her foreman (1). As her foreman leaves the action track at the bottom of her company board (2), first Ann must take the Bureaucracy step (3). Afterward, she moves her foreman to the Hiring action space and thanks to 3 symbols takes that action three times (4). If Ann would choose the Production or Sale action, she does not take the Bureaucracy step, as she must either let her foreman remain on the same action space, or must stop moving her foreman on the Sale action space.

1. Purchase

Upgrade the actions of your company, add more production options, and raise the structures of Findorff.

For each Purchase action symbol in your company you can choose 1 of the following 3 options:

Buy 1 action tile: Choose 1 of the 4 action tile stacks – Purchase, Hiring, Production, or Sale. Pay the costs in thalers of the topmost tile and place it with the side showing no cost face up in the matching action row at your company board. You can use the new action tile starting with your next turn.

Buy 1 production tile: Choose 1 of the 7 production tile stacks – 3 stacks each for bricks and rails, and 1 stack for peat. Pay the costs in thalers of the topmost tile and place it with the side showing no cost face up next to your company board. Each production tile needs 1 or 2 workers and produces the noted amount of goods during the Production action. While producing bricks and rails in your factories, you transport the peat from the bog by boat to Findorff.

Raise 1 structure in Findorff: Choose either 1 of your structure cards in hand or 1 of the face up structure cards in the market. If you choose to raise a structure card from the market, you must replace that card with one of your structure cards in hand, which you place face up in the market. If you do not have any structure cards left in hand, do not replace the chosen market card.

Pay the costs of the structure in thalers, bricks, and rails. Take bricks and rails from your warehouse. Place bricks in the supply, and place rails on the next empty space of the current roadbed.

Place the structure card next to your company board and place the matching structure tile on its numbered space in Findorff. Additionally, move the discount tile below the time track of the game board 1 space to the right. The arrow always points to the date space with the small number matching the total number of raised structures. If the discount of "5 thalers" is below a date space of the time track, the costs for all still to be raised structures historically built in that year or former years are discounted by 5 thalers. If the discount tile reaches the end of the time track, leave it there.

Besides 50 victory points at the end of the game, each structure offers its own advantages:

Immediate bonus: Gain this bonus once immediately after raising the structure.

Income: You gain income during each of your Bureaucracy steps. This can be thalers or peat from the supply, or even your houses.

Production: You gain the resources during each of your Production actions.

Permanent effect: You can use the effect until the end of the game.

Check the glossary for the details of all 25 structures.

Example: Nathalie has 2 Purchase action symbols in her company (1). She buys the Production action tile for 5 thalers and places it at her company board (2). Then, she buys the production tile "2 bricks" for 10 thalers and places it next to her company board (3).

Example: Debbie raises the Forester's House from the market (1). She pays 12 thalers and places 1 rail from her warehouse on the roadbed in Findorff (2). She places the structure card next to her company board and the Forester's House structure tile on its space in Findorff (3). Debbie moves the discount tile one space forward below the time track, so the arrow points to 1854 (4) (for now there is still no discount to raise structures). She raised a structure from the market and replaces that card with the Park House from her hand (5). From now on, Debbie will gain the income of 6 thalers from the Forester's House in each of her Bureaucracy steps (6).

2. Hiring

Hire more workers to keep your production running.

For each Hiring action symbol in your company take 1 worker free of cost from the supply and place them next to your company board. These workers are available for the Production action and for the Bureaucracy step. You can employ any number of workers.

Example: When taking the Hiring action (1), Ann takes 3 workers from the supply and places them with her other available workers next to her company board (2).

3. Production

Produce bricks and rails with your workers, and transport peat with the same workers by boat from the bog.

For each Production action symbol in your company you can produce goods on 1 production tile:

Choose 1 of your empty production tiles and place the necessary number of available workers on that tile – either 1 or 2 workers. Then, take the listed amount of peat, bricks, or rails from the supply and place them on empty spaces of your warehouse.

If all 10 spaces of your warehouse are filled, return any goods of your choice – newly produced or already stored in the warehouse – to the supply without substitution until you have 10 goods remaining on your warehouse. The three rail stations in Findorff offer additional warehouse spaces on their structure cards – see the glossary.

The workers remain on the production tile until your next Bureaucracy step. If you take this action again before the next Bureaucracy step, you must use additional empty production tiles and more available workers to produce more goods.

Example: In her next turn, Ann produces goods (1). As she only has a single Production action symbol in her company, she chooses to produce rails. She places 1 available worker on that production tile and places 2 rails from the supply on her warehouse (2). If she wants to use her peat and/or bricks production tiles as well (3), she needs to take the Production action again in her next turn(s). Until taking her next Bureaucracy step, she cannot use the rail production tile, as she must always use empty production tiles to produce new goods.

4. Sale

Sell peat to the peat market, sell rails to build the roadbeds, or build houses for your workers in Findorff.

For each Sale action symbol in your company you can choose 1 of the following 3 options:

Sell peat to the peat market: Place up to 2 peat from your warehouse on the currently most expensive empty spaces of the peat market. Gain the matching amount of thalers. If all spaces of the peat market are filled, you can still sell each peat for 3 thalers, and place that peat in the supply.

Sell rails for the roadbed construction: Place 1 rail from your warehouse on the next empty space of the current roadbed in Findorff. Gain 10 thalers.

Build your houses: Place 1 brick from your warehouse in the supply and place 1 of your houses on any of the house spaces in Findorff. If all these spaces are full, place your house anywhere in Findorff. Some structures have their own house spaces on their structure tiles that you can only use via their effects – see the glossary. You cannot build houses there with the Sale action.

Example: Nathalie takes the Sale action twice (1). First she places 1 rail from her warehouse on the roadbed near Park Rail Station to gain 10 thalers (2), and then she places 1 brick from her warehouse in the supply to place 1 of her houses on a frameless red house space in Findorff (3).

Bureaucracy

Each time your foreman leaves the action track at the bottom of the company board, you must immediately take the Bureaucracy step. Afterward, continue your turn by placing your foreman from the top of the action track on the chosen action space.

Follow these steps in the stated order:

A. Heating the houses: For each of your houses in Findorff, remove 1 peat from the cheapest occupied spaces of the peat market. Place the peat in the supply.

B. Roadbed construction: For each pair of your workers (available or on a production tile) and your houses in Findorff, place 1 rail from the supply on the next empty spaces of the current roadbed in Findorff. Gain 4 thalers for each of these rails.

C. Time passes: Move all your workers from your production tiles to your available workers next to your company board. Then, 1 of your workers dies of old age. Place it in the supply. If you currently have no workers, no one dies.

D. (optional) Income from structures: Check your raised structure cards for income to gain thalers, peat, or houses in Findorff – see the glossary.

Example: Debbie takes the Bureaucracy step. A. She has 3 houses in Findorff and places 3 peat from the peat market in the supply (1). B. She has 3 pairs with a house and a worker, so she places 3 rails from the supply on the roadbed and gains 12 thalers. One of the roadbed spaces is marked -3, so she removes another 3 peat from the market (2). C. She places the workers from her production tiles to her available workers, and then 1 of her workers dies, so she places them in the supply (3). D. She gains an income of 6 thalers from her Forester's House (4).

End of Game

The game ends at the end of the round, when a player places a rail on the last roadbed space of the longer roadbed (2) to Hamburg. This is the space directly above the structure space (16) for the Rail Station Utbremen. Finish the round, so everybody has the same number of turns. You can place more rails on the roadbed spaces in the dashed area of the roadbed. If these spaces are not enough, place additional rails in the supply, but follow the ongoing markings +2 for these rails as well by adding peat from the supply to the peat market for every second rail. This is also true, if you take a Bureaucracy step before your final action. The roadbed to Hamburg covered another 50+ miles before it really was finished.

This is important: Keep an eye on the roadbed construction, so you are not blindsided by the end of the game! Trying to time your last turn can be crucial to gain the greatest benefit.

Example: After Debbie took her turn, Ann places a rail on the last roadbed space of the second longer roadbed to Hamburg triggering the end of the game (1), and a second rail on the first roadbed space of the dashed roadbed, adding 2 peat to the peat market because of the marking +2 (2). Then, Nathalie takes her last turn and can place more rails as well.

As Debbie started the game, everybody had the same number of turns and the game ends with the final scoring.

Final Scoring

After finishing the last round, count your victory points as follows:

• For each of your raised structures: 50 victory points
• For each rail on your warehouse: 10 victory points
• For each brick on your warehouse: 4 victory points
• For each peat on your warehouse: victory points equal to the most expensive empty space on the peat market (if the peat market is full: 3 victory points)
• For each remaining 1 thaler: 1 victory point

You do not score any victory points for your houses in Findorff.

The player with most victory points wins Findorff. In case of a tie, the tied player with less thalers wins the game. Your goal is to raise Findorff, not being the most wealthy company owner!

The Solo Game

When playing the solo game of Findorff, you try to optimize your company as fast as possible to build up Findorff on your own. The Council of Findorff forces the roadbed construction, and has a supply of 25 rails that they build one after another after each of your turns. Thus, you only have at maximum 25 turns before the game ends. Are you able to gain enough victory points by raising enough structures and build a lot of rails during your Bureaucracy steps?

How to Play (Solo)

Check the small changes for game preparation on pages 2-3 and take your turns as explained on pages 4-6.

Roadbed construction by the Council of Findorff: After each of your turns, place 1 rail from the Council's supply on the next empty space of the current roadbed in Findorff. Follow the basic construction rules for removing or adding peat in the peat market.

Bureaucracy (Solo)

Follow the steps as explained on page 6, with the following addition for step B.

B. Roadbed construction: Turn each of the rails built in this step by 90°. This is important for your final scoring.

Do not turn any rails when raising certain structures, when selling them, or when placing rails from the Council's supply.

Example: During the Bureaucracy step, Nathalie places 2 rails on the current roadbed (1). She turns them 90°, so she can score them at the end of the game.

End of the Game (Solo)

The solo game ends either when the Council of Findorff builds their 25th rail and depletes the Council's supply, or when you place a rail during your turn on the last rail space of the longer second roadbed to Hamburg. In the latter case finish your turn. You can still place rails on the rail spaces of the dashed roadbed.

Final Scoring (Solo)

After finishing the last round, count your victory points as follows:

• For each of your raised structures: 50 victory points
• For each rail on your warehouse: 10 victory points
• For each brick on your warehouse: 4 victory points
• For each peat on your warehouse: victory points equal to the most expensive empty space on the peat market (if the peat market is full: 3 victory points)
• For each remaining 1 thaler: 1 victory point
• For each rail on the roadbeds turned by 90°: 10 victory points

You do not score any victory points for your houses in Findorff.

Let's see how successfully you build up your company:

• Less than 700 victory points: Can we suggest playing with toy trains?
• 700 - 749 victory points: This can be more than your hobby.
• 750 - 799 victory points: Solid family-run business.
• 800 - 849 victory points: This is professional city planning.
• 850+ victory points: You must be Mr. Findorff himself!
