Lucca City of Games

Players use cards to build towers, city walls and palaces, finished palaces can be opened. In your turn you can open finished palaces and must take a set of cards and play it. Opened palaces bring victory points depending on the number of unfinished palaces of other players in the same colour. You determine the sequence of the cards played, tower cards go next to finished palaces, palace cards let you start a new on or enlarge an unfinished one, or to finish one. You can also place a card as a city wall next to finished palaces or discard it. If there are not enough cards for a round, a final scoring scores opened palaces, checks the number of shields for city walls and victory points for supported city walls and all towers, the player with the highest score wins.
