Scenario: We all know that Mansa Musa is a money-grubbing scrooge in this game; why not take that to its logical conclusions? This is a Gentle Adventure designed to provide some variant fun for our up-and-coming players.

Rules: You must set research to Currency on the very first turn of the game and cannot switch under after the tech is researched! (This tech choice has already been pre-selected in the starting save file.) Do not switch research to something else – Mansa wants his markets!

You are also required to switch to and remain in the following civics for the remainder of the game as soon as their corresponding techs are discovered:

- Universal Suffrage (Democracy)
- Free Speech (Liberalism)
- Free Market (Economics)

How many cottages to employ is up to you, but these civics will generally favor a cottage economy over a specialist one.

Scoring: There is no official scoring for this game. However, special recognition will go to all players who manage to win a successful victory (any type) with more than 10,000 gold in the bank at game’s end. Such players will be dubbed “tycoons” and have their scores listed in a separate group. Do the best you can to help Mansa achieve his dream of winning with style! (Great Merchants should help out here.)

Results
Results will be sorted into tycoons and non-tycoons, then listed alphabetically.

Closing Day: Monday, April 23. Reports due by the end of April 24, your local time.
