Introduction

London: The biggest, most important and richest city in England in the late medieval and early modern periods.

The Guilds played a major role in the lives of London's citizens, controlling the way in which trade, manufacturing and business was conducted in the city. The members of the guilds were rich men, who were appointed to the most influential positions in the community and wielded immense civic power. The chief representative of the Guilds became the Lord Mayor of London, and the leading delegates of the Guilds became his Aldermen. Other members of the Guilds were the burghers of London. The Guilds ran the city and controlled its commerce; each had its own Hall and its own Coat of Arms. Representatives of the Guilds met at the Guildhall to discuss the great issues of the day.

In Guilds of London, you place your liverymen in strategic Guilds, building your power base, so that you can achieve the status of Master in many of them. You also have the opportunity to spread your power into the commercially valuable Ulster or Virginia plantations. Control of each Guild provides victory points and additional actions that you can exploit, so that you can control the future development of the city.

How to play

Guilds of London is played on a fixed number of rounds, depending by the number of players.

In a single round each player takes one turn, then guild and special building tiles are checked and may resolve. After a number of rounds there is a Growth phase, during which the plantation tile is resolved and more tiles are added to the playing area.

On your turn you may play any number of action cards, zero or more, from your hand. You can play an action card for one of three different kinds of action:

• Hire a liveryman: put a new liveryman on the Guildhall.
• Move a liveryman: move a liveryman from a the Guildhall to a tile or from a tile to another
• Use the card’s special ability: you can use the special ability described on an action card, instead of using the card to hire or move a single pawn; each of the many special ability has a cost you have to pay to perform it.

At the end of the turn there is the tile resolution phase. For each tile in turn that resolves,happens the negotiation, voting and rewards stages: in the negotiation stage all players may replace own liverymen with a neutral ones, in the voting stage there is the count of the number of liveryman pawns in each player’s color on the currently resolving tile, finally, in the rewards stage, who has the majority of liverymen on current tiles takes a reward, perform the tile's special ability and, overall, place a master of the guild on the tile.

At the end of the game, there is the final scoring: all players add to their victory points, obtained by rewards and by performing special abilities, the points scored by their mayoral reward cards. Additionally, each player scores 1 victory point for each pair of orthogonally adjacent tiles in which they have a master pawn.

The player who has the most victory points is the winner of the game.

Important notes 

Production. A distinction must be made between games printed directly by Giochix or printed by another publisher, that we can be call "indirect".

In the first case we have direct control over the printing procedures and wecanintervene quickly in case ofproblems,solving and adjusting if necessary. In the second casewe can only interact with the publisher that prints the game without having the opportunity to act on the production process.

This means that when the games are printed by us, the shipping date thatweindicated in the draft is fairly safe.Obviously in thiscase there may bedelays, and this should be taken into account,but we are confident of being able to respect the times given.

In the second case, for "indirect" games, the shipment date isonly indicative.Unfortunately it can happen that deliveriessuffer a delay and this must beconsidered before making a purchase. Of course we will inform youimmediatelyif somethingwere to happen.

-> Guilds of London is printed by TMG/2Tomatos. So it is a "indirect" game.

Components. Game specifications and components are to be considered indicative and can be changed during final production.

Project pages. Sometime there can be some little variances between the pages of this project in the different languages. In that case, refer to the project’s English page.

Fairs. It can happen that game shipment is scheduled in a time frame adjacent to a big Fair, like Essen Fair in Germany or Lucca Comics and Games in Italy. Is important to know that we will show/sell the game in these fairs independently of campaign participant shipment status. These Fairs are too important and unfortunately it is not possible to avoid them without destroying the game’s chances to be a success.

Order Cancellation. You can cancel your order within 15 days from your order date contacting us with the Contact form. Within the campaign end is possible to cancel it by clicking the Cancel Order button shown on order page.

Shipments. We ship by postal service or by supported courier (UPS/GLS/SDA)

We reserve the right to separate the contents of an order into different shipments or to merge the contents of different orders in the same shipment to improve the shipment's delivery speed and any required logistics management. If this happens, there will not be any additional cost for you as a customer (nor right to any refund).

Shipments made by courier or by insured the postal service can be tracked and are considered insured.

Shipments made by the postal service are not insured and cannot be traced. While rare it is also possible that a package may be lost (0.1-1%). Insurance option for potal services costs an additional 2-5 Euro depending on the destination.

Courier shipments may take about 3-6 days for EU and US/Canada. Postal service requires about 3-7 weeks for the same locations. Please note that the postal service in the same case can be slow and may suffer several weeks of additional delay. This happens very rarely but it is still a possibility and is out of our control. If you would like a faster deliever or avoid any risk of a long way; pleas use a courier service.

Courier shipment covers against package loss, destruction and package damage. Postal service insurance covers against package loss or destruction. Insurance requires a customer claim when package is delivered, ask to postman.

Please note that we will not reship any game without first having investigated what happened to the first shipment. This can be processed quickly through the courier service option but may require an additional 1-5 weeks through the postal service.

If the game failed to arrive because of your mistake (wrong address, recipient absent, not picking up at courier/postal warehouse, etc.), you will have to pay an additional shipping cost for us to re-send you the game. This cost will also include the return costs of the game. Otherwise, if we made an error, we will send it again to you at our expense. If package is lost or destroyed, we will reship it at our expense only if it was insured.

If you live outside of the European Community; custom's taxes may be added. This usually doesn't happen for boardgames; however, please check your country's legislation as this aspect will not be our responsibility.

We will no longer accept complaints related to this campaign after 12 months from the date of shipment.
