Watch the tile walls grow!

Players will be tiling the walls

with the azulejos - whichever player has the most valuable
tiles will win prestige (and points). But a word of caution, the
King will reject tiles if he feels there are an excessive amount
of them played - simply too gaudy! Select your tiles carefully,
know when to push your luck and how to read your opponents
to score big!

Overview
The game is played over several rounds. On each round, each player
will play a total of 4 cards over 3 turns: 2 cards on the first turn, and 1 on
the two following turns. After each turn, replenish your hand in order to
always have 5 cards.
There is a scoring phase at the end of each round. Is there an exact
number of Rooster cards in play? If not, which color is in majority?
The game goes on like this until the draw pile is empty and each player
has only one card remaining in hand.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

*The Rooster of Barcelos is a Portuguese legend concerning fairness, fate and wonders.

2. Evaluating and scoring a round

At the end of the round, proceed to the scoring phase. Is there an exact
number of Rooster cards in play? If not, which color is in the majority?
Either way, you will keep the valuable cards in a face-down score pile.
The other played cards are put on the discard pile. The next round begins.

The scoring at the end of a round is performed in this order:

2. 1 — First, is there an exact number of Rooster cards in play?

2. 2 — If not, which color is in the majority?

2. 1 — Rooster cards ROOSTER CARDS

only the Rooster cards are scored. This number Players Rooster
corresponds to the number of players + 2 (see

2.2 — Color majority

If the exact number of Rooster cards was not played, determine
the most played color. For each color, count the number of cards,
including Rooster cards, played by all players during this round. Each
player takes the cards from the color in majority in front of them and
adds them to their face down score pile. The value indicated on each
card represents the points gained. The remaining cards in play are put
in the discard pile. Then, the next round begins.
Attention!
Two situations may alter the evaluation of the color majority:
– the color or colors who are in the majority reach or exceed the limit;
– some colors are tied for the majority.

End of the game

As soon as the draw pile is depleted, play a last round with the remaining
5 cards in hand, without, of course, replenishing your hand between
each turn. Discard your last card in hand. Each player adds up the value
of the cards in their score pile.

Variant for a longer game

Each time the draw pile is exhausted, keep the score of each player on
a sheet of paper. At that point, if no player has reached or exceeded
50 points, keep playing. Shuffle all 100 cards, remove the number of
cards according to the number of players, as indicated in the chart on
page 2, and start a new round.
From now on, as soon as a player reaches or exceeds a total of 50 points
at the end of a round, the game ends.

Victory
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. In case of
a tie, the player with the most cards in their score pile wins. If there is still
a tie, the tied players share the victory.
