OVERVIEW OF CALIMALA 

During Calimala, players become merchants of cloth throughout medieval Florence. They will collect employees, assigning them to varying places throughout the city, ensuring that they stay there for as long as necessary. While their employees are working, the merchants will produce and deliver cloth throughout the city, aiding in the decoration and construction of many buildings in the city. The winner will have accumulated more points than all the others, can it be you? 

SETUP 

To begin setup, the youngest player is given the active player token, and it is placed in front of them. A random player will shuffle the action tiles and place them face up on the assigned space on the grid. Another player will shuffle the scoring tiles, placing them face up on the spaces of city council randomly, left to right.  

Each player will then gather a player mat, 40 cubes, 2 workshop tiles, 3 trade houses, and 3 ships in the color of their choosing. If there are three players, they will also collect 12 discs in the matching color and 3 white discs. Four players will collect 10 colored discs and 2 white discs. Finally, if there are five players, they will collect 8 colored discs and 2 white discs. Each player will then add one more disc on the zero space of the scoring track.  

The scoring cards are then shuffled and dealt. For three players there are three cards dealt, for four players there are two cards dealt, and for five players there are two cards dealt. If there are three players, one other card is placed next to the board. Finally, if there are four players, then one card is placed beside the board and the other is put into the card box. Each card will then choose a scoring card to keep.  스포츠토토사이트

The players will place a single copy of wood, build, weave, marble, and brick on the table face up. The player sitting to the right of the first player will take one of those cards in their hand in clockwise order going around the group. Each player will start with one action card. The rest of the action card are shuffled and placed beside the game board. The game is ready to begin. 

GAMEPLAY

They may then choose to conduct the adjacent actions that are connected to their disc. There are nine potential actions, with descriptions being found on the cards or on the grid.
