Praga Caput Regni

Charles IV, crowned King of Bohemia and ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, is overseeing grand construction projects from his Prague castle. Prague, already a large European city, is set to become the empire's capital. In Praga Caput Regni, players step into the shoes of wealthy medieval Prague citizens. They organize building projects, expand wealth, and gain the king's favor. The game board's 'action crane' offers six actions with ever - changing costs and benefits. Use these actions to boost resources, enhance chosen actions' strength, and build landmarks like 'New Prague City', the Charles Bridge, or city walls. You might even get extra actions or contribute to St. Vitus Cathedral construction. Smart players will find synergies between timed actions and civic project rewards. The player who impresses King Charles the most wins at the game's end.

To play Praga Caput Regni, first, each player takes on the role of a wealthy citizen in medieval Prague. The game board with the 'action crane' is the main hub. Look at the six available actions and decide which one suits your current strategy. Each action has costs and benefits that change as the game progresses. Use actions to increase your resources, like gold or building materials. This will help you improve the strength of your chosen actions. You can then start building different structures such as 'New Prague City', the Charles Bridge, or city walls. Sometimes, you might even get additional actions or the chance to contribute to the construction of St. Vitus Cathedral. When making decisions, think about how your actions work together with the rewards from civic projects. Try to find those synergies for better results. As for maintenance, keep the game pieces organized in their proper places after each play. If you spill something on the game board, gently wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Make sure to store the game in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the cards and board.
