Playing a hero card with a power card

Each player has four hero cards to use during the

game. If he or she has used all the hero cards, this

option is no longer available. By using a hero card, a

player may turn over one of the opponent’s power

tokens already lying on the game board. The hero

cards are very powerful, so think carefully before

using them.

Turning over power tokens using hero cards:

In exchange for a hero card, a player can turn over one

of the opponent’s power tokens already on the board,

when the player plays a power card that moves the

crown to that opponent's space. To do this, he or she

places a power card on the power-card discard pile and

also discards a hero card into a separate hero-card

discard pile (the hero cards are not reused). Then the

player moves the crown token to the space indicated by

the power card that is occupied by the opponent.

Before placing the crown token on the space, he or she

turns over the power token lying on that space so his or

her own rose color is facing up.

Ending the Game

The game can end in two ways:

1. The players cannot carry out any more moves,

because each has five power cards and neither

can use any of them.

... or ...

2. One player places his or her last power token on

the game board.

Either way, the game ends immediately.

Now, each player calculates the point value of his or

her territories. Territories are made up of the spaces

with the player's power tokens in them. A multi-

token territory consists of two or more spaces

containing the player's power tokens where each

space borders at least one of the other spaces on at

least one side. A corner does not count as a shared

border. A single-token territory consists of just one

space containing the player's power tokens that is

not bordering any other space containing the player's

power tokens. To calculate the point values, the

number of spaces composing each territory is

squared, or multiplied by itself.

Example: In the

illustration here, the

player with the white

rose has one territory

of 8 spaces (8 x 8 =

64 points), one of 2

spaces (2 x 2 = 4

points), and one

territory of 1 space (1

x 1 = 1 point). The

player with the red

rose has one territory of 5 spaces (5 x 5 = 25 points),

two territories of 2 spaces each (each one: 2 x 2 = 4

points), and one territory of 1 space (1 x 1 = 1 point).

Each player adds up all the points of his or her own

territories. Whoever has the greater point total is the

winner.

The Author

Dirk Henn was born in 1960 and

lives in Aachen, Germany. He and

his wife Barbara have produced

and self-published many games,

including The Rose King in a different design and

under a different name. The author likes games

with simple rules and lots of options. He regards

the coveted Spiel des Jahres award, which he

received in 2003, among his greatest successes.

In case of a tie, the player with the largest single

territory is the winner. If this is also a tie, the player

with the greater number of roses on the board is the

winner.

Tip: To make the calculation step easier, the players

can remove equal-sized territories from the board so

each player has fewer spaces to total up.
