Description

This is a simple beat your own score variant.

You take 4 die tokens (2,3,4,5). Put them in a bag and then draw one tile and put it on the castle. You repeat this step for the other 3 locations.

Then you roll all your 7 dice like in a two player game. Remove the highest and the lowest die. If there are a two with the same amount, you can choose which one to remove. From this reamaining pool of 5 dice, you can choose 3 as normal. If you cannot use a die, you take the distress action.

The tricky thing is, that you only can use a die that is lower than the die token on the castle and you can only use dice that have a higher result than the dice token on the upper/central/lower city.

You don't use the crown tokens.

For endgame scoring on the influence tracks: You ignore the influence scoring tiles, instead you get as many points depending on the position of your disc on the corresponding track.
