3.Move Caballeros from the court to the game board.

Note: this may be executed as Step 4 instead, if the player so chooses. The maximum number of Caballeros that may be moved from the player's court to the game board is shown along the bottom of the action card. These Caballeros may be placed in any region adjacent to the current location of the King and/or into the Castillo. The player may divide the Caballeros between the adjacent regions and the Castillo in any way he sees fit. Example 1: the King is in Galicia. A player can only move Caballeros to Old Castile, to Basque Country, and/or into the Castillo.

Example 2: the King is in New Castile. A player can only move Caballeros to Old Castile, Seville, Granada, Valencia, Aragon, and/or into the Castillo.

4.Execute the special action

Note: this may be executed as Step 3 instead, if the player so chooses. The player must now decide whether or not to execute the special action depicted in the picture and text of the chosen action card.

5.Lay aside the chosen action card.

After the player has completed his turn, he lays aside the card to show that it may not be chosen by a later player. Now, the player with the second highest power card takes his turn.

Next Round

After all of the players have finished their turns, discard any remaining face-up action cards. Begin the next round by moving the round marker forward and turning 5 new action cards face up. The King card is turned face up at the start of each round and is never permanently discarded.

THE KING AND THE KINGS REGION

The region where the King stands is called the King's region. The King’s region has three meanings:

a)Placing of Caballeros: It determines which regions may receive Caballeros from the courts - namely the regions adjacent to the King's Region and into the Castillo! Special actions allow Caballeros to be moved to any region.

b)The King’s Region is taboo! No changes are allowed here! No Caballeros, no Grande, and no mobile scoreboard may be moved into or taken out of the King’s Region. The only exceptions are actions, which move the King!

c)King’s Bonus: The player with the most Caballeros in the King's Region receives an additional 2 points whenever that region is scored. If there are several players with the same number of Caballeros tied for the most, then the King's Bonus is not awarded!

THE CASTILLO

The Castillo is a special location with the following special properties:

Caballeros may be placed in the Castillo any time one adds or moves Caballeros, no matter where the King stands. When adding Caballeros to the Castillo, players should clearly call out the number. It is advantageous to keep track of who has Caballeros in the Castillo and how many. Otherwise, the Caballeros the Castillo hides can surprise you at the next scoring.
