Scenario-specific Rules
• No “+1 Event”: Place only 6 Events on display during Phase 1 in this scenario.
Each player must pick an Event during Phase 2, and there will be no unpicked
Event.

• ›Mainz, ›Cologne, ›Saxony, ›Bohemia, and ›Brandenburg are Electors of the

HRE. When the current Emperor is replaced or discarded, instead of determin-
ing the new Emperor using I in Elector Areas, the Elector players will cast
their votes for the new Emperor. Players may vote for themselves. If there is a tie
for the most votes, the current Emperor will decide which of the tied players will
win. When voting, each Elector will place an infantry unit matching the color of
the PR they are voting for in their closed hand. All players reveal their votes at
the same time.

• During Phase 3, step D, after peace has been resolved between a PR and an-
other Realm within the HRE, the current Emperor may demand the return of 1
Province within the HRE taken by the Victor. If the Victor accepts the return de-
mand, they must remove their t token from the indicated Province, and they
lose 1. If the Victor refuses the return demand, they lose 3 I from HRE
Areas, and the Emperor must place a CB token on the indicated Province. The
Emperor cannot demand the return of a v province.

Victory Conditions
The winner is the player with the most 0 at the end of Round 12. Normal
endgame triggers apply (see main rules, p. 11 ). Instead of scoring 0 equal to
the current Tax Income, Players will earn 0 equal to half of their Tax Income
(rounded up).

Additional Prestige scored during Final Scoring

The Player who has the Emperor title at the end of the game earns 1 for each
