In Sluwe Schotten you are a clan head who tries to recruit as many new members as possible by cleverly laying cards. New clan members earn points and the player with the most points wins the game. On your turn, you must always add 1 card to a meeting place. In addition, you can also decide to place one of your shields on a shield space to gain favor from potential clan members. Choose wisely; what is the best time to lay a shield? How can you turn everything to your advantage with 1 card?
