Hi all,
A quick summary about spoils for new players. I'm posting this as I couldn't find a simple summary in one place.
- A spoil is a reward for taking over a territory. You can get 1 spoil per turn and the spoil is given at the end of the turn.
- Spoils can be cashed when you have 3 spoils that meet the criteria for cashing in. i.e. 3 of one colour or 1 each of all 3 colours.
- 3 Spoils must be played if you have 5 spoils.
- If you eliminate a player you get their remaining spoils. If this causes you to have 5 or more spoils then you will be able to play your spoils (including the new spoils) immediately after you eliminate the player. This means that you may be able to play up to 3 spoils in a turn (1 at the start of the turn and then up to 2 when you eliminate a player)
Playing spoils well is a key to winning
good luck
