This puzzle requires you to use the information given on the cards to create a map.
There are 18 cards in this puzzle. 15 of them are used to make the map. The blue story card and the two solution cards are not part of the map.
The 'hole' referred to on a few of the cards is an empty spot on the map, one that you might otherwise assume would have a card in it.
The card that says ___ GOTTEN x ____ GIVEN is trying to tell you that the map you're building is a 4x4 grid of cards.
The Crown and The Temple exert control over some of the other cards in the patterns indicated. When a card talks about control or loyalty, it is talking about the Crown and the Temple.
The Spice Road cards all have camels and arrows on them. The spice road runs from east to west following the arrows.
Remember, the grid is 4x4 with one hole (i.e. one missing card). If you have the right arrangement, the messages on every card will be true. There is only one arrangement that makes all the messages true.
The Temple is in the bottom row, the Spice Road starts in the second-to-bottom row, and the hole is immediately above the Temple. The Crown is in the second row, second column from the top left.
The number cards go as follows: Top row: 7 5 6; 2nd row: 9 2; 3rd row: 1 0; Bottom row 4 8 3.
