Whenever I have trouble getting back into a game I like to make my own setup and rules summary to make it easier in the future. These are intended for myself only so they take shortcuts and make assumptions about how I think about the setup and play and even our typical player count (2). I will share an example in a comment.

Do you ever do something like this?

    Example summary for Tiletum:

    setup

    • board:
      • populate action wheel with action tiles (optional) and bonus tiles
      • 3 bonus tiles for king track (no tile for last round)
      • bonus tiles for map spots based on player count
      • town and fair tiles on track, fair order marker on the picked towns
      • cathedral tiles and random build reqs. Remove unavail cathedral
      • contract and character markets
      • 10 dice in bag (2p)
    • players:
      • markers on score track, turn order track, king track (p1 on bottom!)
      • place houses and pillars on their spots. There should be 2 of each left for each player as their available supply
      • 1 of each resource
      • 1 gold for p1, 3 gold for p2

    play

    • prep: draw, roll and place 8 dice (2p)
    • action:
      • p1 flips and applies corruption token
      • dice values +/- for 2 gold. affects action and # resources
      • pick die, get bonus tile and resources, perform action
    • king: points, bonus tile, player order. bottom wins tie. from negative snap to 0 after
    • fair: merchant or house in town to qualify
    • cleanup: refill wheel tiles, rotate wheel

    Tasks (free actions) at any time:

    • gain a resource for 2 gold
    • fulfill contract
    • place crest (food cost). Apply bonuses
    • build cathedral (only 1 of each type!)
    • use helper tiles from storehouse

    Important:

    • many house spots are only for higher player counts. With 2p there is at most 1 spot in each city
    • some house spots have bonuses
    • players can only get 1 cathedral piece per type!

    (should add a section about scoring too)
