6.2 Four Player Versions

The four-player versions correspond directly to the two-player versions, except for the fact that in a four-player version, each player is assigned three pieces instead of six: one of each type, and the players of the two-player version (i.e. the two colors of pieces) are replaced by Conjunctons of two players. Each player is responsible for controls one Bard, one Herald, and one Fool of a given color + stripe combination.

In the Standard Version, play proceeds turnwise (counter-clockwise) around the board, with no restrictions on piece-type movement.

In the Symmetric Version, players of one Conjunction roll their dice simultaneously, and both must move the same type of piece, each moving exactly his or her die roll. Players of a single color alternate conjunction-initial movements.
