New Components and Set-Up

  • Reward tiles in total: 9 tiles for use with the basic game and 3 exchange tiles for use in combination with the expansion "Henry V – The Power of the King". On the backsides of the tiles the letters A-I are imprinted, in accordance with the counties of the game board. Put the 9 tiles for the basic game into the bag and mix them well.

When playing with the expansion, remove the power point tiles A, D & F and use the seal tiles A, D & F.

For further set-up, follow all instructions of the basic game.

Sequence of Play

Draw 1 reward tile from the bag at the beginning of each game round. The letter on its back matches a county on the game board. Place the tile face up next to the imprinted reward.

Phase 3: Rewards

Counties

Instead of the imprinted basic reward, the concerned player may collect the reward tile. If he pays 3 gold, the player may collect the nobleman tile and the reward tile. A player may never collect both the imprinted reward and the reward tile. If the player chooses the reward tile, he receives this reward, then removes the tile from the game. If the player chooses the imprinted reward, the tile remains in the county until a player claims it in a later round.

Summary of Reward Tiles

The player receives:

  • 3 power points
  • 3 squires
  • 3 gold
  • Nobleman tile: The player may take a nobleman tile from any county of his choice.
  • "New knight": The player takes 1 new knight with strength 1.
  • "Upgrade": The player may upgrade any 1 of his knights by one level.
  • Extension tile: The player may extend his castle with 1 extension tile from his personal supply.

When playing with the expansion "Henry V – The Power of the King":

  • Seal tile: The player keeps the seal tile hidden behind his screen.

Special Features in the 2-Player Game

A player's ally may take a reward tile if one of the player's knights is in that county.

Only the reward tiles "New knight" and "Upgrade" work for an ally, improving that ally's knights as described. Any other reward tile provides no benefit for an ally that claims it, and the tile is removed from the game unused.
