The Square Circle

I've always enjoyed area control and commodity speculation games.. and while there exists a multitude of theories concerning Stonehenge.. the most simple in my opinion.. is the site was in fact a marketplace in which one could buy/sell goods.

Number of players: 2–5

Object of the game: The objective of the game is to collect the most valuable goods before the High Druid declares the square is closed.
Getting Started

Equipment: The game uses ALL of the standard pieces in the box.

Ending the Game

The game ends when the High Druid has moved all the way around the path of bluestones and has returned to the altar in the middle of the game board.
Scoring

At the end of the game.. each of the marketplaces are scored:

In each marketplace determine the color with the highest total of merchants located on the small stones. The color is awarded a number of points equal to the total number of ALL merchants located on the small stones.

Next determine the color with next highest total of merchants located on the small stones. The color is awarded a number of points equal to the number of merchants of the previous high total. Continue the process until all of the colors in the market have received points.

EXAMPLE: At the end of the game there are six merchants in the White Marketplace - 3x Blue 2x Red 1x Yellow. Blue is awarded 6 points. Red is awarded 3 points. Yellow is awarded 2 points.

(In the event of a tie.. all of the tied colors earn the same number of points.)

Once all five of the marketplaces have been scored.. determine the value of the goods the denoted by the figures on the scoring track:

The color with the highest value is worth four points per good.
The color with the second highest value is worth three points per good.
The color with the third highest value is worth two points per good.
The color with the fourth highest value is worth 1 point per good.

THE PLAYER WITH THE MOST POINTS IN GOODS IS THE WINNER OF THE GAME.

In the event of a tie.. the player who controls the most goods of the highest value color.. is the winner of the game. If all tied-players control the same goods.. no player wins the game.
