  • [2]region_majority— “players place figures of their color or neutral figures around the table to score certain areas or figures
  • [3]_other:rotating_scoring_track— “neutral figure bearing three rings is the current king; table always oriented to place this figure in crown location
  • [2]tempo_swing— “new king can come into power, which will find everyone sitting in a new location on the scoring track
