	Description Edit \| History

In Troyes, recreate four centuries of history of this famous city of the Champagne region of France. Each player manages their segment of the population (represented by a horde of dice) and their hand of cards, which represent the three primary domains of the city: religious, military, and civil. Players can also offer cash to their opponents' populace in order to get a little moonlighting out of them — anything for more fame!

Make your underlings:

work on the cathedral
combat misfortune
bustle about the city
and other such tasks that are below your family's stature

Troyes Character Card Summary

This small game aid informs players of the victory point conditions on each character card at a glance. Late in the game it is very useful when deciding whether to try for some goal that might bump you up a few victory points.
