Unfortunately, this game is rated for 3+ players and my husband and I really wanted to play it ourselves before we tried it with others. We played the game as 4 players would. He was player 1 & 3 and I was the other 2. This was confusing so I came up with an actual 2-player variant. At the time of writing this, we haven't tried it yet, but I suspect it would work well. Please let me know what you think and if I should add/delete to it. I'll post the PDF file as well.
Web of Power – 2-Player Variant
1) Each player chooses 2 different colors and may use both colors during play (under certain conditions).
EX. Player 1 chooses blue & green. Player 2 chooses purple & yellow. (These are used in the examples below.)
2) CARDS: Each player gets 3 cards. Use normal card-playing rules to place cloisters & advisors.
3) PLACING PIECES: The normal rules apply for placing 1 or 2 same-colored pieces in the same country during a turn. However, if a player wishes to play in a 2nd country, he may play 1 piece in the 1st country and place his differently-colored piece in the 2nd country. Two different colors cannot be played in the same country on the same turn.
Ex: Player 1 plays 1 blue piece in Italien & plays 1 green piece in Aragon. Or plays 2 blue pieces in Italien and his green pieces are not used for this turn.
4) TOTALING SCORES: Each color scores separately as in normal rules. Points for each color are given to the corresponding player using that color.
For example: Player 1 has blue & green. Player 2 has purple & yellow. Italien contains 1 blue, 2 green & 3 purple cloisters. Player 1 scores 2 points for blue and 3 points green for a total of 5 points. Player 2 scores 6 for purple.
5) TRACK SCORING: When scoring on the track, stack the 2 colors of each player together & move these simultaneously when either color of the same player scores.
Ex: Player 1 scored 2 points then 3 points (in example above). His blue/green stack moves 2 spaces then moves 3 spaces for a total of 5 spaces. Player 2 moves his purple/yellow stack 6 spaces.
