Playing a hero card with a power card

Each player has four hero cards to use during the

game. If he or she has used all the hero cards, this

option is no longer available. By using a hero card, a

player may turn over one of the opponent’s power

tokens already lying on the game board. The hero

cards are very powerful, so think carefully before

using them.

Turning over power tokens using hero cards:

In exchange for a hero card, a player can turn over one

of the opponent’s power tokens already on the board,

when the player plays a power card that moves the

crown to that opponent's space. To do this, he or she

places a power card on the power-card discard pile and

also discards a hero card into a separate hero-card

discard pile (the hero cards are not reused). Then the

player moves the crown token to the space indicated by

the power card that is occupied by the opponent.

Before placing the crown token on the space, he or she

turns over the power token lying on that space so his or

her own rose color is facing up.

Ending the Game

The game can end in two ways:

1. The players cannot carry out any more moves,

because each has five power cards and neither

can use any of them.

... or ...

2. One player places his or her last power token on

the game board.

Either way, the game ends immediately.

Now, each player calculates the point value of his or

her territories. Territories are made up of the spaces

with the player's power tokens in them. A multi-

token territory consists of two or more spaces

containing the player's power tokens where each

space borders at least one of the other spaces on at

least one side. A corner does not count as a shared

border. A single-token territory consists of just one

space containing the player's power tokens that is

not bordering any other space containing the player's

power tokens. To calculate the point values, the

number of spaces composing each territory is

squared, or multiplied by itself.

Example: In the

illustration here, the

player with the white

rose has one territory

of 8 spaces (8 x 8 =

64 points), one of 2

spaces (2 x 2 = 4

points), and one

territory of 1 space (1

x 1 = 1 point). The

player with the red

rose has one territory of 5 spaces (5 x 5 = 25 points),

two territories of 2 spaces each (each one: 2 x 2 = 4

points), and one territory of 1 space (1 x 1 = 1 point).

Each player adds up all the points of his or her own

territories. Whoever has the greater point total is the

winner.

The Author

Dirk Henn was born in 1960 and

lives in Aachen, Germany. He and

his wife Barbara have produced

and self-published many games,

including The Rose King in a different design and

under a different name. The author likes games

with simple rules and lots of options. He regards

the coveted Spiel des Jahres award, which he

received in 2003, among his greatest successes.

In case of a tie, the player with the largest single

territory is the winner. If this is also a tie, the player

with the greater number of roses on the board is the

winner.

Tip: To make the calculation step easier, the players

can remove equal-sized territories from the board so

each player has fewer spaces to total up.

A Game By

Dirk Henn

For 2 Players,

Ages 10 Years and Up

• The power tokens should be placed next to the

game board within easy reach of both players.

• Shuffle the power cards well and randomly

distribute five to each player. Place the rest of the

cards face down next to the game board as the

draw pile. Next, each player lays his or her five

cards face up in front of himself or herself in such

a way that the crown on each card has the same

orientation as the one on the game board.

• Each player also gets four hero cards matching his

or her rose color. These four cards should be placed

next to each player.

• Finally, set the crown token on the center space of

the game board.

• The player with the red rose starts, after which the

players take turns.

Course of Play

• The player whose turn it is must choose one of

three options:

❶ Play a power card

❷ Draw a power card

❸ Play a hero card together with a power card

• The player must choose one of these options if

possible. If a player cannot carry out any of the

three options, he or she must skip a turn. Then it

is the other player’s turn and remains the other

player’s turn until the first player can perform one

of the moves.

Game Concept

The players assume the dynastic roles of the royal

houses of Lancaster and York, which battled for

supremacy during the so-called Wars of the Roses in

England from 1455 to 1487. Both sides used symbols

of roses in their heraldic badges. In this game, each

player attempts to bring as much territory as possible

under his or her control.

Game Objective

The winning player is the player who marks the

greater number of adjacent territorial spaces with his

or her rose.

Game Materials

1 Game board

52 Power tokens, printed on both sides (a red rose on

one side, a white rose on the other)

24 Power cards (one card with a value of I, one of II,

and one of III for each of 8 directions)

8 Hero cards (4 with a white rose insignia and 4

with a red rose insignia)

1 Crown token

Game Preparation

• Place the game board between the two players in

such a way that one player (who will see the crown

upside-down) is sitting in front of the crown at the

board’s edge. This player will play with the red

roses and the other will play with the white roses.

Playing a power card

The player places one of his or her power cards face

up on a shared power-card discard pile and moves

the crown token in the direction and by the number

of spaces indicated on the card (see the example to

the right).

The shining sword points in one of the eight

directions of movement. Inside the crown, you will

see a Roman numeral I, II, or III, which indicates how

far the crown token must move when played.

The following rules apply when moving the

crown:

• The movement distance must be completely used

up. The player may not move fewer spaces than

what is indicated on the card.

• The final space must be unoccupied. There cannot

already be a power token (belonging to either

player) in that space.

• A card cannot be played if it would take the crown

token past the edge of the game board.

Before the player places the crown token in the final

space, that space must be marked with a power

token. The player places the power token with his or

her rose color face up. Then the player places the

crown token on top of the power token.

... or ...

Drawing a power card

Instead of playing a power card, simply draw a power

card from the draw pile. A player may only choose

this option, however, if he or she does not yet have

five cards. If a player already has five cards in front of

him or her, this option is not available.

The drawn card is then placed face up next to the

player’s other cards.

If the draw pile has been used up, shuffle the discard

pile and use it as the new draw pile.
