| Java
is a fascinating island with great potential for development.
Of special interest is the undeveloped area of central Java with
its fertile soil and rich natural resources. These riches are
much desired by the rulers of the regions that surround central
Java.
Each
player is one of the Javanese rulers, who wants to claim and develop
the region for himself. Each player wants to bring his culture
and control to these undeveloped areas. The players irrigate the
land and cultivate new rice fields. They found villages, build
palaces to create cities from the villages, and arrange festivals
in the palaces. Each player desires to be the dominant force in
the development of this new area.
Players
earn fame points for building and enlarging palaces, for creating
irrigation systems, and for arranging palace festivals. They record
these points on the scoring track. The most points are earned
in the final scoring. The player with the most fame points after
the final scoring, is the winner.
