dettonator11Welcome to *Medina*! In this game, you and 1 to 3 other players will be rebuilding the walled city of Medina together...while trying to claim the biggest palaces and most prestigious locations for yourself! If you grab too early, though, you may be forced to add to your rivals' palaces down the line!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11This is the main board. Medina is currently empty except for a [blue]well[/blue] and a [green]merchant[/green] which are placed randomly at the start of the game. There is also a *tower* in each corner.2medina-board

dettonator11These are your pieces. You *must* play two of them in Medina each turn. (The first and second players only place a single piece on their first turn. In a two player game, the first player places a piece, and players place two pieces from then on.)3medina-my-pieces

dettonator11I'll explain the pieces as we go. For now, you need to take your first turn. Place a white building on [red]this empty space[/red] next to the [green]merchant[/green].4medina-grid-place-11-8

dettonator11Now it's your turn again, and the players have established four *palaces* on the board. A *palace* is one or more connected buildings that are all the same color. There are two very important rules about *palaces*:1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator111. A *palace* can never touch another *palace* of any color, even diagonally. 2. When you place a building, you must expand an incomplete *palace* of its color (if there is one).2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11Click on the white building in your supply again. Notice how only spaces adjacent to the white *palace* on the board are highlighted as legal placements. Then place it [red]to the left[/red] of the white building that is already there.3medina-grid-place-10-8

dettonator11There is another important thing to understand about *palaces*. Just because you place a building does not mean you "own" that *palace*. Therefore, you can expand any *palace*, even one that other players have placed. Do that now by placing a brown building [red]below[/red] the brown palace already on the board.1medina-grid-place-4-8

dettonator11Blue has placed one of their [green]merchants[/green], so let's look at how they work. [green]Merchants[/green] must be placed next (orthogonally adjacent) to another merchant on the board. They can be placed adjacent to any *palaces*, but they don't have to be (as in this case).1medina-grid-place-13-8

dettonator11[green]Merchants[/green] must also form a single-file line, and players can only add [green]merchants[/green] to either end of that line. The line cannot touch itself - that is, a [green]merchant[/green] must never be orthogonally adjacent to more than two [green]merchants[/green].2medina-grid-place-13-8

dettonator11Blue has also built the first wall of the game. Walls must be placed on the spaces for them around the edge of the city. They must be built either next to a tower or next to a wall piece that's been placed previously. Finally, two towers cannot be connected by walls - there must be a gap of at least one unbuilt space on every edge of the city at the end of the game.1medina-grid-place-17-1

dettonator11Both [green]merchants[/green] and walls are worth one point to any player who owns a palace touching them - we'll see how that works soon.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11Green has placed his *rooftop* on the white *palace* that we started! This white *palace* now belongs to Green, and they will not be able to claim another white *palace* this game.1medina-grid-place-11-8

dettonator11Green was awarded 4 points for completing the white *palace* - 1 for each building comprising the *palace* and 1 for the [green]merchant[/green] next to the palace. Green also claimed the "Largest White Palace" tile, which is worth 1 point. If someone else claims a white *palace* that is at least one building bigger than Green's later in the game, they will take that tile away from Green.2medina-palace-tiles

dettonator11Notice that each color of *palace* tile is worth a different number of points. If you end up with the largest orange *palace*, that is worth 4 points!3medina-palace-tiles

dettonator11It's your turn again. First, expand the purple *palace*...1medina-grid-place-12-4

dettonator11...and then place a white building on [red]this[/red] space. Now that Green has completed the first white *palace*, no one can add any more white buildings to it (not even Green). By placing a white building, you get to decide where the next white palace is going to go - and now Green cannot claim it!1medina-grid-place-16-1

dettonator11Wait, WHAT? Didn't I just say that Green couldn't add to their white *palace* anymore?1medina-grid-place-11-7

dettonator11Well, I did say that no more buildings could be added...but Green has just placed a stable. You can think of a stable as a wild building - it can be added to any color of *palace*, even after that *palace* has been completed.2medina-piece-player-pieces-83980425-stable

dettonator11The *palace* must still not be adjacent (even diagonally!) to another *palace* after placing the stable, and stables must be placed next to at least one building piece. That is, you can't place a stable that's only touching another stable. You also can't place stables on their own - they must expand a *palace*.3medina-piece-player-pieces-83980425-stable

dettonator11Also notice that Green gained two more points - one for the stable (which means his white *palace* has become size four), and one for the [green]merchant[/green] next to that stable (and therefore, the *palace*). The more pieces are in or adjacent to a *palace*, the more points it's worth!4icon_point_84000586

dettonator11On Blue's last turn, they expanded the new white *palace* with two buildings. That means you can use your first piece to expand it again, and stake your first claim using a rooftop as your second placement. Do that now...1medina-grid-place-16-4

dettonator11It doesn't usually matter where on a *palace* you place the roof (since it's all connected anyway), but make sure to replicate the replay by placing it on the [red]second building from the top[/red] in this case.1medina-grid-place-16-2

dettonator11Hey, look! When we claimed that white *palace*, we also claimed a tower tile! Like *palace* tiles, tower tiles are also worth the number of points that they show. You claim them by being the most recent player to have one of your claimed palaces be connected to that tower by a wall.1medina-piece-player-score-83980425-watcher-3

dettonator11Three of the four tower tiles also give extra [green]merchants[/green] to the first player to claim them. The fewer points the tower is worth, the more [green]merchants[/green] you get, with the 4 tower granting no additional [green]merchants[/green]. The 3 tower tile we just picked up gave us 1 [green]merchant[/green].2medina-piece-watcher-tiles1-merchant

dettonator11Blue has started a new white *palace* now that you've claimed yours. Those [green]merchants[/green] next to it will make it more valuable for whoever claims it, and Blue is the only player who hasn't claimed a white *palace* yet.1medina-grid-place-13-7

dettonator11Let's look at the [blue]well[/blue] now, since Green has placed an orange building near it. The [blue]well[/blue] is the gathering place for all the inhabitants of Medina, so no buildings can be placed in any of the 8 spaces around it (though [green]merchants[/green] can be).1medina-piece-6-3

dettonator11Furthermore, any *palaces* that occupy the four marked spaces in straight lines away from the [blue]well[/blue] are worth a bonus 4 points to their owners! Which explains what's about to happen...2medina-grid-place-8-3

dettonator11Green has claimed this tiny orange *palace*! While it might not seem wise to claim such a small *palace*, we know that it's worth the extra 4 points from the [blue]well[/blue]. Furthermore, Green might be able to hold on to the 4 point *palace* tile as well, if they use a few stables at the right times.1medina-grid-place-8-3

dettonator11Let's skip ahead a little bit...1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11Let's look at the last piece we haven't covered yet. It would be a shame to let Blue take this large white *palace* just because you and Green have already claimed yours. Fortunately, we have a way to deny Blue this bounty.1medina-grid-place-14-7

dettonator11Play your last white building [red]here[/red]...2medina-grid-place-14-6

dettonator11Then place your grey neutral roof [red]on top[/red]!1medina-grid-place-14-6

dettonator11In a two player game, each player has two "neutral roof" pieces. In a three player game, each player has one. With four players, no neutral roofs are used. *Palaces* can be claimed using a neutral roof even if you've already claimed a *palace* of that color, to prevent another player from claiming that *palace*.1medina-grid-place-14-6

dettonator11Any tiles that would be claimed by a neutral *palace* return to the supply, as the "Largest White *Palace*" tile did here. If a neutral *palace* claims any additional pieces, such as additional [green]merchants[/green] from a tower, those pieces are removed from the game.2medina-piece-palace-tiles-palace-white

dettonator11Just a few more things left. Let's skip ahead again...3medina-my-pieces

dettonator11This last type of piece is called a "tea tile". Players do not start with any tea tiles - instead, the first player to claim a purple *palace* claims 3 tea tiles from the supply as well. The next purple *palace* claims 2 tea tiles, and the third claims a single tea tile. (If a purple *palace* is given a neutral roof, the corresponding tiles are removed from the supply.)1medina-piece-tea-tiles-tea

dettonator11Claim this purple *palace* now to gain some tea tiles.2medina-grid-place-12-4

dettonator11Recall that you are required to play two pieces every turn. Sometimes, especially toward the end of the game, you want to wait for the other players to take turns before you do too much (especially if they will have to add buildings to a *palace* you can claim).1medina-piece-player-pieces-83980425-tea

dettonator11Use a tea tile to take a tea break! You can spend a single tea tile on any turn instead of placing a piece. You still have to place the other required piece somewhere on the board - two tea breaks in one turn is too much!2medina-piece-player-pieces-83980425-tea

dettonator11A few last things. This area shows the total pieces remaining in all players' personal supplies combined (including your own). It can be useful to check how many pieces the other players are holding, especially if you can wait for them to build your *palaces* for you!3medina-remaining-pieces-wrapper

dettonator11When every player has claimed a *palace* of a certain color, any buildings of that color that any player has left in their supply are discarded. Also, in the rare but possible case that an unclaimed *palace* cannot legally be expanded, players are permitted to begin building a new *palace* of the same color elsewhere on the board.4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11Once a player has placed all of their pieces, they will not take turns any more. Once every player has placed all their pieces, the game is over, and the player with the most points wins!5archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment

dettonator11We've gone over everything you'll need to rebuild *Medina*! Thank you for playing through this tutorial. Have fun!6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment
