PLAYED FOR YOU

Magnum Sal

Muria

1368 AD: The King of Poland establishes the Cracow Salt Mine. We as managers of the mine will work hard to be best supplier of the king. On the board you must find minerals, mine them, take them above ground, sell them or deliver them to the king. Three phases of the game comprise several rounds each; in the first round of a phase each player has one action, in all other rounds two actions; two actions of a kind if you like, but not twice in the same building. Actions are Placing or Moving a miner, Extract salt, Place a miner into a building as Assistant, Visit a building or Pass. At the end of a phase all leave mines and building; new orders are laid out and the mine is prepared again. After three phases you win with most money from salt and tools.

In the Muria expansion a new salt mine is opened, new buildings are constructed and you can play with five players. The board for Saltworks and Foreman’s Building supplements the main board, the main shaft of the basic game is replaced with the new shaft. There are new Tool cards and you select seven of the new tools. The rules of the basic game stay in place, but a player with a Cart can now cross two adjacent chambers or shaft sections free of charge, for a maximum of two salt cubes. The phases I and II end after five completed orders. It is suggested that you use all new elements of the expansion together to achieve an optimum result.

Challenge, demand and interaction of the game are kept up when playing this expansion, you need to plan exactly once again and try to achieve an optimum strategy – if you like Magnum Sal you cannot pass by this expansion for it.
