you need either 3 of the same color or 1 of each color to cash

The color you are missing is green

You need a set. A set is either three cards of the same color, or one of each color (red, green, blue).

If you have a set, at the start of your turn, you'll be asked which cards you want to play. If you have five cards, you must play a set.

And how do escalating cards work? I haven't been able to figure it out and a search on them yields a million threads...

You COULD just check the instructions, but...

First set is 4, second is 6, then 8, 10, 12, 15 and then it goes up by 5.

I checked the instructions...but maybe I'm just not understanding how many sets there are or where cards are coming from...

I should just play more until I figure it out as opposed to bothering people on the forum.

Wow, your understanding of the game is poor...

You get a card for taking 1 or more territories and then ending your turn. Once you have a set (3 or the same colour of 1 of each colour) you can cash in. Once you have five cards you have to cash them in.

Yes...it is. But I'm getting the hang of it the more I play. Sorry to bother with silly questions.

Thanks.

Escalating sets are worth 4,6,8,10,12,15,20... (i.e. the first set of cards turned in by any player is worth 4 armies, the second set is worth 6, etc.)

Flat Rate sets are worth 4 for red, 6 for green, 8 for blue and 10 for mixed.

Escalating is where each set turned in gives you a higher bonus.

I think: 4-6-8-10? at some point it starts going up by 5s.

It is the way the original board game is played.

Don't be. Some people don't know how to play, and it's nice to see somebody putting in the effort instead of saying "Fukc dis yo!" and then leaving. You'll get the hang of it, it's not that hard.

I know the bolded cards are cards of territories you own but what how does the bonus for them work here? Is it 2 extra armies on that territory like in risk ? If you turn in 2 or 3 bolded cards do you get a bonus for each one?
