During each general scoring (after game rounds 3, 6 and 9), the Castillo is completely emptied. The Caballeros are moved to other regions of the board (see the following rule) and may change the majority there!

SCORING

General scorings occur three times during the game; they occur after the 3rd, 6th, and 9th rounds. During a general scoring, the round marker is first placed on the space with the picture of the secret disk and then moves on to the other spaces to the right.

A general scoring is made up of the following actions:

Select a region with the secret disk

Score the Castillo

Move the Caballeros from the Castillo to the selected regions

Score the regions in the order shown on the scoring track

Select a region with the secret disk

Each player chooses the region he wants to move his Caballeros into from the Castillo and secretly records this using the pointer on the disk. Any region can be chosen except the King's region. After choosing, each player should place his disk face down on the table.

IMPORTANT: ALL OF A PLAYER'S CABALLEROS IN THE CASTILLO MUST BE

MOVED TO A SINGLE REGION - THE ONE SHOWN ON HIS DISK!

Score the Castillo

Once all of the players have placed their secret disks face down on the table, score the Castillo. Lift off the Castillo and count the Caballeros inside. Scores are awarded as in other regions (see the section, Scoring of the Regions).

Move the Caballeros from the Castillo to the regions

Turn the secret disks face up and move the Caballeros that were in the Castillo to the chosen regions. Anyone who has chosen the King's region must return his Caballeros to his court! Return the Castillo, empty, to its space.

Score the Regions

So that no region is forgotten or counted twice, move the round marker to the right along the scoring track. The scoreboards in the regions show how many points are awarded to the players that have the most, the second most, and third most Caballeros in that region. The Grandes serve only to identify the home region and are not counted when determining the majority in a region. Move the pieces along the success track to record the points scored.

Example: “5/3/1“: Whoever has the most Caballeros in this region moves 5 spaces forward, whoever has the second most moves 3, and whoever has the third most moves forward 1 space.

When playing with 2 players, only the first number of the scoreboard is scored. Only the player with the most Caballeros gets points.

When playing with 3 players, the first two numbers are used. Only the players with the most and second most Caballeros in a region get points.

If several players have the same number of Caballeros and tie for a rank, these players get the points of the next rank on the scoreboard.
