The BasicsDescription: Auf Heller und Pfennig takes participants to a medieval marketplace which looks remarkably like a plain matrix for square tiles. Each turn players place tiles onto the board which modify (either positively or negatively) the amount of money to be made by the shops that share that tile's row or column. Three times the board is filled with tiles and shop money is earned, after which the player with the most money wins.
In Reiner Knizia's Kingdoms (Fantasy Flight, 2002), the English version of Knizia's Auf Heller und Pfennig, players try to collect the most gold by establishing castles in the richest regions of the realm while avoiding hazards like dragons, swamps, and trolls.
