Japanese translation
Each player receives 2 to 4 cards depending on the number of players from the number of players. When the closing card is played, all players who meet that condition at that time get a score. After that, you pick up a set of 7 building cards, starting with the slow player. There are four types of building card sets : many ship cards to go to the periphery of an island, many cards to build a building adjacent to a road, many cards to build a building connected to a river, and a well-balanced set of cards. Look at your score card and pick it up.
The game starts by building one building at a time anywhere around the island. After that, you play cards in order. After playing the building card, you build your own building in any corresponding location. When the closing card is played, all players with that condition score.
Continue this until all players play all cards and the first half of the game ends. The cards played are grouped by player.
Before the second half begins, each player receives a new closing card. After that, choose the card set from the players who scored less in the first half. This includes not only the set of building cards but also the closing cards played together. At this point, each player throws away one settlement card and the second half starts.
I don't know who has which settlement card in the first half, but I know most of the second half. The point is when you need which building and when you play the settlement card. If possible, I want to play at the timing when only I can score. However, there are times when you want to meet the requirements of a settlement card before other players play it.
It doesn't take much time to play, but it's a game with many points to think about.
