Caylus Magna Carta

Players draft and play from identical personal card decks to extend a road of building cards, place workers, and manage money and resources. On a turn a player can add a new building to the road, pay to draw or redraw cards, place a worker on an existing building, contribute to common prestige buildings, or pass. When all players pass, actions resolve up to the provost, who can be advanced by payment and blocks access. Building card ownership determines who gains resources or money when workers are placed. Players can also spend resources to buy castle stones of varying value; the player with the most stones each round earns a gold marker. The game ends when the castle is completed; final scoring counts castle stones, constructed cards, and leftover resources and money.
