Thanks for the great explanation. We want to try this in a boardgamecafé. This video is really helpful. I wonder if I will remember all the exception rules😅.

thanks branislav! excited to play this soon.

Hello Branislav, thank you the video, it was truly helpful. I was getting worried when I checked on the BGG page for the game and didn't see your tutorial listed in the videos, so you might want to add it there. I only spotted two minor things to correct:

@10:19 The designer confirmed on BGG that there's a translation error: The extra florins are not wasted but go to the personal treasury.
@40:46 scoring of alliances: 1 VP per alliance (active or inactive) as long as it doesn't have an enemy agent.

It's my first time playing. Is there a simple variant rule?
