Böhmische Dörfer

Inns, Manors and Shops

Settling of Bohemian villages gives prosperity to the villagers. Village tiles are randomly placed and you prepare one inn tile per visible inn as well as one glass tile per factory and one flour tile per mill. Each player uses between 10 and 13 pawns, depending on the number of players.

In your turn, you roll four dice and combine them into one or two sums of 2, 3 or 4 dice; remaining single dice are disregarded.  For each sum, you can place a pawn on a building of this value, to receive a tile, money or for scoring at the end of the game. Only one pawn is allowed in a building; when no building is available, you can oust a pawn from farm, inn, town hall or church; from a shop only if you own no shop of that type. When you occupy an inn and there are three or more other occupied buildings in the village, the tile is activated and gives you 1 coin per turn. When all mills or factories are taken, they are scored and each tile gives you 2 or 3 coins. Farm instantly give you as many coins as you own farms in total, manors bring their respective values in coins. A double gives you the bishop tile and revenue from churches. A total of two dice can also be used to take a special action tile and use it in a turn to re-roll any number of dice. If someone is out of pawns to place or if all coins have been taken, you score town halls, shops, majorities in churches, flour and glass tiles and win with the highest total of coins.

Tactic from dice, of course all depends on clever use of the dice values and on having a bit of luck to achieve the optimum result, for instance capturing another farm!
