The aim is to have the most nobility points at the games end. Players buy nobility cards using gold; which is gained by completing commissions for the citys nobles.

When players visit any of the 3 nobles they are given a rendezvous destination; where they can receive a commission. A commission involves traveling to 1 or more locations and using silver to buy pearl; amber or sapphire gemstones. After delivering the gemstones; they are rewarded with silver (useful for completing further commissions) and gold (for buying nobility cards). The game ends when only 2 nobility cards remain.
