Loch Leven
1
England, 1558. The venerable Kingsbridge Cathedral watches over a city torn by religious hatred. Half of Europe is
deeply divided by conict between Catholics and Protestants. England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands are all vying
for power and resources. In this politically unstable environment, players compete to increase their inuence by aligning
with members of prominent families. They form alliances with dignitaries across Europe and set up trading houses to sell
their goods. The religious power struggles in these countries are incessant, and those who sympathize with the losing
religion are occasionally driven out of a country. Who will best exploit the changing religious attitudes in each country
to gain control?
Game Materials
Object of the Game
The object of the game is to earn as many victory points as possible. The game ends as soon as a player reaches 50
victory points on the victory point track. The player who is furthest ahead on the track by the end of the game wins
the game. Players gain victory points primarily by selling goods and being a member of the winning religion in times
of religious conict.

protection tile one goods tile of the type of goods and

is given one protection tile and one ore. The player places his

The black die is the religion die. Unlike the other dice, it
features the numbers one through ve. Instead of a six, it has a
second three.
• Each player rolls his or her religion die and places it on his

The Game Board
• The game board depicts a stylized view of Europe in the 16th
century (from England’s perspective) with the countries
England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The major
cities of each country are depicted: the ctional city of
Kingsbridge; Paris; Seville; and Antwerp.
• Two specic types of goods can be sold in each country. The
type of goods and for how many victory points each type can
be sold are indicated in each country’s cost of goods box.
• To be able to sell in a country, a player must have a trading
house on one of the six sites for active trading houses.
• During the game, religion stones are placed on the religion
spaces until every religion space in a country is covered and a
religious conict arises.
• The action track is on the lower right. Players move around
this track with their action disks.
• The victory point track runs across the left and top sides of
the game board.
Overview of Gameplay
• Each player has six dice. The black die determines how
long a player will belong to a given religion. Each player
will use his or her remaining dice to draw a character card
in every round.
Each character card permits one action that the player
can execute once per round. The number of rounds that a
character card remains available to a player is determined
by the number on the die rolled for that card. As long as
the die lies on top of the card, the die cannot be used for
other purposes.
• When players draw a character card, they open up a
trading house in the corresponding country. A player
can gain victory points through the sale of goods only
in countries where he or she has a trading house. The
trading house site number has no bearing on the sale of
goods for victory points.
• The selected character card comes with a religion stone,
which is placed in the character’s country. If there are
four religion stones in one country, a religious conict will
arise in that country. At this point, players check which
religion has more religion stones in that country. Then,
each player possessing a trading house in that country
and adhering to the majority religion receives a number
of victory points equal to the number of the site on which
his or her active trading house is placed. However, if a
player belongs to the minority religion, then that player
loses his or her trading house, thereby losing the ability to
sell goods in that country.
• With the exception of their selected character cards,
players inuence gameplay in every round by executing
an action on the action track. For this, they use one of
the free dice they did not use for their character cards.
The more free dice they have available to use, the more
choices players have on the action track.
Course of the Game
• The game is played in rounds (= years). Each year consists of
two parts (= half-years).
• The starting player begins by executing all of his or her
actions for the 1st half of the year. The other players follow
in clockwise order.
• Once all of the players have played the 1st half of the year,
the starting player continues by executing all of his or her
actions for the 2nd half of the year. The other players again
follow in clockwise order.
• Once all of the players have played a round in the 2nd half of
the year, the starting player begins the next year again with
the 1st half of the year.
• The game ends after the year in which a player reaches 50
points or more. Thus, every player plays until the end of the
2nd half of the year.
