Turn structure:

• Play a political card (if you have one)
• Spend your military actions to build military units, and civil actions to:
  • pick cards from the card rows (if you have room in your hand)
  • play cards to your tableau
  • increase your population
  • build/upgrade farms, mines, or urban buildings

Yellow counters represent your population. They can be in one of three places:

• on your farms, mines, urban buildings (grey-backed cards, such as philosophy), or military units (representing workers)
• on your available population, which are available to place on your cards
• on your "yellow bank" -- when this is empty, you can no longer increase your available population

Blue counters represent food or resources. They can be in two places:

• on your farms or mines
• on your "blue bank" -- when this is empty, you can no longer produce
