Place of Power [PP]: Each place of power gives a +2 place-anywhere bonus plus a place-anywhere collector's bonus of +2 for each pair of places or power you control. For example, controlling one place of power would give you +2, controlling two would give you +6, controlling 3 would give you +12, controlling 4 would give you +20, etc. Also, each place of power grants full vision up to three hexes away (excluding capitals).

SCENARIOS
