Bank
Bank

You can place an influence cube in the bank in your precinct. You then get Gold, equal to the number of influence stones in your bank. Once there is not enough gold coins in the general supply, you get the coins from the player, who has most coins.

Residence (Residenz)
Residenz

You may place influence cubes in the residence in your presinct. You will now get as many Prestige points, as you have influence cubes in your residence.

Coach House (Kutscherei)
Kutscherei

You may place influence cubes in the Coach House in your Presinct. You may then move your carriage as many spaces as influence cubes you have in the Cocach House. The coach drives from market place to market place along the connecting roads (including the perimeter). It does not matter if you are on your own or someone else's market. Several coaches may exist on a single space. You do not have to move the exact amount. You can finish before using up all the spaces. The the coach finishes on a market place where there is a message, you may immediately pick up the message and take the associated bonus.

If you select the action “Coach”, the following action window appears:

Clicks on the overview map at the market place where you wish to go:

If a message sits at the location, you will be asked if you want to pick it up or leave it where it is:

Botschaft nehmen?

There are four different types of message tiles:

Botschaft 1
  • 1 Prestige Point and 1 Gold
Botschaft 2
  • 2 Prestige Points and 1 Influence Cube
Botschaft 3
  • 3 Prestige Points and move back your rat marker 1 space (unless already on 0)
Botschaft 4
  • 4 Prestige Points

You MUST have a message tile from each colour before you may take a second of the same color! You may ingnore this rule if there iare no more tiles of the needed colour.

Guesthouse (Gasthaus)
Gasthaus

You can place an influence cube in the Guesthouse of your precinct. If you have 1-3 stones in your Guesthouse you may take one of the following actions:

  • Take 1 gold coin
  • Take 1 Influence Cube
  • move back your rat marker 1 space

When you have 4 or more cubes in the Guesthouse, you may take two of the above actions. These may be the same or different actions.

Confidant (Vertrauter)
Vertrauter

Instead of placing an influence cube, you may place the confidant in any location in your precinct and perform the action there, as if an influence cube had been placed there.

Park
Park

You may place an influence cube in the park in your precinct. Move your rat marker back one fspace - regardless of the number of influence stones in the park.

For each pair of cubes in your park, you receive an extra prestige point every time you get points via an action, bribe, etc.

Example: Madmax places the 5th stone into the park and moves his rat marker back 1 space. In the next round he places the 3rd stone into his residence and gets 3 prestige points. He now also gets 2 more prestige points for the 5 stones which he has in his park, giving him a total of 5 points. Later, he bribes the money lender (see phase 4) and scores 1 prestige point from the money lender and 2 more points from his Park.

Hospital
Hospital

You may place an influence cube in the hospital in your precinct. Regardless of the number of cubes, move your rat marker back one space (unless already on 0).

Cubes in your hospital have benefits in the plague phase. (Phase 5).

Notre Dame
Notre Dame

You may place an influence cube in the hospital in Notre Dame in the center of the board. Donate between 1 and 3 coins to the cathedral (put coins back in supply). Receive prestige points: 1 coin = 1 point; 2 coins = 3 points; 3 coins = 6 points. If you cannot or do not want to pay, you can play the card but cannot put a cube in Notre Dame.

At the end of each Stage the players, who have placed influence cubes in Notre Dame, again receive prestige points (see End of Round).
