each player draws 2 cards from each deck (Scripture, Currency, and Laws).<\/p>\n<p>Phase 2: Play Cards<br \/>\nPlayers take turns playing exactly one card from their hand. They can perform one of two main actions:<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f Unification Action: Place the card in one of the five regions of their personal board to obtain unification tokens (Scripture, Currency, or Laws) and various bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f Courtyard Action:<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Hire 2 Workers: Recruit 2 workers in a region where a general is located. This increases the unrest in that region.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Build 1 Palace: Spend 3 workers from two regions to build a palace in an architect&#8217;s region.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Build 1 Wall: Build a wall on the main board by spending workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Search for the Elixir: Move your ship along the track and unlock terracotta soldiers or place alchemist cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Official: Recruit an official (Alchemist, Architect, General) in a region on your board.<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1 Install 1 Governor: Spend the 3 different officials to put a governor into play and reduce the region&#8217;s unrest to 0.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 3: Unification Rewards<br \/>\nAt the end of each round, rewards are awarded to the players who have contributed the most to unification in the three areas. The player with the most tokens in a area receives the corresponding reward, then must discard their tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Placement in the Mausoleum: Soldiers can be placed on the Mausoleum tiles. The player places a soldier on the highest available spot on the tile, which allows him to immediately score VPs. Players can place multiple soldiers as long as they meet the conditions of each Mausoleum tile. At the end of the game, players gain 10 VPs for each row or column completed with their soldiers in the Mausoleum<\/p>\n<p>End of the game: The game ends after the fifth
