Players roll colored dice and place matching numbers on casino mats containing money cards worth at least $50,000. Each turn, you must commit all dice showing the same number to one casino. After all dice are placed, whoever has the most dice at each casino claims its cash prizes. Ties benefit the next highest player.

Get Ready

Setup the game with these step-by-step instructions before diving into your turn.

Gather materials

Print the board, get a pencil, obtain 6-sided dice of different colors (6 per player), and some regular white 6-sided dice

Choose player colors

Each player picks a color and receives their corresponding dice

Determine first player

Each player rolls a single die and places it on the board

Understand white dice

White dice represent other courtisans (rival nobles not controlled by players)

Set starting influence

Players begin with an influence score that determines their dice pool

On Your Turn

What you can do during your turn.

Receive dice for the turn

Each player gets 4 dice total (2 white dice and 2 dice of their color)

Roll and place dice

The first player throws all their dice, then places all dice showing the same number onto the matching character space on the board (1=Queen, 2=King's Brother, etc.)

Keep remaining dice

Hold onto any dice not yet placed for subsequent rolls

Continue in turn order

The player to the left rolls and places, continuing around until all dice are thrown

Resolve favors at turn end

Starting with the Queen and ending with the King, determine who wins each character's favor

Choose your reward

Select one favor option from the character who granted it (cannot exceed 6 in any favor)
