作为一个中世纪的统治者，你的目标是发展工艺，建立高效的生产链，使你的城市繁荣。制作、转换、收集资源，不要忘记阻碍你的对手！

人工是一种卡片驱动的开发游戏。有些卡片会产生资源，或者将一种资源转化为另一种资源，并获得胜利，而另一些则会让你采取行动。仔细地计划你在游戏回合中所玩的纸牌链是成功的关键。

Artificium持续四个圈。在每个回合开始的时候，玩家手里都有五张牌，一张牌上有六张牌。在这一回合中，玩家首先有机会与市场上的玩家交换一些牌，然后他们会一步一步地玩游戏，执行动作、交易和收集资源，最重要的是，将某些资源提炼到其他资源中，以获得胜利点数。玩家的个人资源板上的水晶会追踪他们的资源，因为他们是被买卖的。放置在木板旁边的水晶代表玩家的硬币。最后的分数是在第四回合之后确定的，玩家可以卖出剩余的资源来获得额外的胜利点数(每4枚硬币的1分)。拥有最多胜利点数的玩家被认为是最聪明的中世纪统治者，并被宣布为胜利者。

As a medieval ruler your aim is to develop crafts, build efficient production chains, and make your city thrive. Produce, transform, gather resources, and don't forget to hinder your opponents!

Artificium is a card-driven development game. Some cards produce resources or transform one type of resources into another and award victory points, while others let you perform actions. Carefully planning the chain of cards that you will play during the game turn is the key to success.

Artificium lasts four turns. At the start of each turn, players have five cards in hand, with six cards being face-up on the table as a card market. During the turn, players first have a chance to exchange some cards from their hands with those in the market, then they play and resolve their cards step by step, performing actions, trading and gathering resources, and most importantly, refining certain resources into other resources to earn victory points. Crystals on the players' individual resource boards keep track of their resources as they are bought and sold. Crystals placed beside the board represent player's coins. The final score is determined after the fourth turn, with players selling any remaining resources to score additional victory points (one point per four coins). The player with the most victory points is considered to be the wisest medieval ruler and is declared the winner.
