Short description
While visiting cities and villages you develop and upgrade your products. Play your cities/villages tactically, because everybody can visit them and use their power.
As soon as someone has made all the products of their assignment card, the game ends. Then the counting starts and because you get a lot of point for different parts of the game, the end score can be surprisingly different than you thought.
