In addition, the tiles in \u003cem\u003eLimes\u003c\/em\u003e have a different layout from those in \u003cem\u003eCities\u003c\/em\u003e. Together, these changes ensure that Limes has become an entirely new game. (\u003cem\u003eLimes\u003c\/em\u003e includes two sets of cards, one for each player, but if you combine copies of the game, any number of people can play at the same time.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach player has his own deck of cards. One player shuffles his deck, then places a card at random on the table; each other player takes this same card and places it on the table in his own area. Each player can optionally place one of his figures on this card; once a figure is placed on a card, it cannot be returned to the supply. The second card played (and all subsequent cards) much be placed adjacent to or touching the corner of an already-played card. After each card placement, a player can either place a new figure on this card or move an already-placed figure; a figure can move from one territory to an adjacent territory, e.g., from woods to lake or from grain fields to woods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game ends as soon as a player has placed 16 cards in a square (4x4 cards). Each player then receives points as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarmers receive one point for each connected grain field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishermen receive one point for every house situated directly adjacent to their lake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatchmen receive one point for every patch of woods they can see in a straight line (north, east, south, west) from their tower; other watchtowers block their view, so they can't see woods behind those towers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoodcutters receive one point for every territory to which they can deliver wood, e.g., every different adjacent territory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe player with the most points wins, with ties being broken in favor of the player who has the highest score with a single figure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABACUSSPIELE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":700284801,"sku":"ABA06141","price":25.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Limes.jpg?v=1578608900","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/limes","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
