Qualifying for the throne

Four Bear clans want to be the one to provide the next king; Princes of the clans, represented by players, travel the lands, set up sacred Bear steles and acquire the necessary qualifications in religion, education, military and commerce, represented by tokens on the personal player boards. 

In your turn you have two action options: 1. Acquire new Bear Steles - take two from one of the temples or draw three steles from the bag, up to a maximum of ten steles in your stock, or 2. acquire a knowledge token in a village. For this, you place a stele from your reserve into the village – two steles of the same color cannot be adjacent, and the new stele must be connected to minimum one other stele via a path – and take the token and put it on its respective position on your board. Then you pay the price for the stele - you return as many bear steles of the suitable colors to their respective temples as there are steles adjacent to the newly placed stele. If you completely filled a column on your board, you draw a seal card for special abilities to modify regular actions or for additional actions. If you have filled four columns on your board, you win at the end of the round, if you are the only one to do so. If several players manage to complete their board during the last round, the number of Dragon seals on markers and cards decides the winner.

A flawless family game, from its marvelous components to its simple rules; the games plays quickly, albeit a bit repetitively, but without posing any difficult dilemmas or difficult decisions, your options in a turn are usually very obvious.
