Handleiding

• The power tokens should be placed next to the

game board within easy reach of both players.

• Shuffle the power cards well and randomly

distribute five to each player. Place the rest of the

cards face down next to the game board as the

draw pile. Next, each player lays his or her five

cards face up in front of himself or herself in such

a way that the crown on each card has the same

orientation as the one on the game board.

• Each player also gets four hero cards matching his

or her rose color. These four cards should be placed

next to each player.

• Finally, set the crown token on the center space of

the game board.

• The player with the red rose starts, after which the

players take turns.

Course of Play

• The player whose turn it is must choose one of

three options:

❶ Play a power card

❷ Draw a power card

❸ Play a hero card together with a power card

• The player must choose one of these options if

possible. If a player cannot carry out any of the

three options, he or she must skip a turn. Then it

is the other player’s turn and remains the other

player’s turn until the first player can perform one

of the moves.

Game Concept

The players assume the dynastic roles of the royal

houses of Lancaster and York, which battled for

supremacy during the so-called Wars of the Roses in

England from 1455 to 1487. Both sides used symbols

of roses in their heraldic badges. In this game, each

player attempts to bring as much territory as possible

under his or her control.

Game Objective

The winning player is the player who marks the

greater number of adjacent territorial spaces with his

or her rose.

Game Materials

1 Game board

52 Power tokens, printed on both sides (a red rose on

one side, a white rose on the other)

24 Power cards (one card with a value of I, one of II,

and one of III for each of 8 directions)

8 Hero cards (4 with a white rose insignia and 4

with a red rose insignia)

1 Crown token

Game Preparation

• Place the game board between the two players in

such a way that one player (who will see the crown

upside-down) is sitting in front of the crown at the

board’s edge. This player will play with the red

roses and the other will play with the white roses.

Playing a power card

The player places one of his or her power cards face

up on a shared power-card discard pile and moves

the crown token in the direction and by the number

of spaces indicated on the card (see the example to

the right).

The shining sword points in one of the eight

directions of movement. Inside the crown, you will

see a Roman numeral I, II, or III, which indicates how

far the crown token must move when played.

The following rules apply when moving the

crown:

• The movement distance must be completely used

up. The player may not move fewer spaces than

what is indicated on the card.

• The final space must be unoccupied. There cannot

already be a power token (belonging to either

player) in that space.

• A card cannot be played if it would take the crown

token past the edge of the game board.

Before the player places the crown token in the final

space, that space must be marked with a power

token. The player places the power token with his or

her rose color face up. Then the player places the

crown token on top of the power token.

Drawing a power card

Instead of playing a power card, simply draw a power

card from the draw pile. A player may only choose

this option, however, if he or she does not yet have

five cards. If a player already has five cards in front of

him or her, this option is not available.

The drawn card is then placed face up next to the

player’s other cards.

If the draw pile has been used up, shuffle the discard

pile and use it as the new draw pile.
