Orloj: The Prague Astronomical Clock Setup Guide

Setup Steps

1. Place Main Board and Clock: Unfold the main board in the center of the table. Place the Orloj clock face and the astronomical dial on the rotation axis to form the clock. The Orloj clock face should be placed in a random position. Set the astronomical dial with the hand pointing to a random starting hour.
2. Place Moon Disc: Place the moon disc in the first position to the left of the hand inside the astronomical dial.
3. Assemble Walk of the Apostles: Assemble the walk of the apostles gears above the main board. Fit the gears so that Apostle 1 (James) is on the left and Apostle 2 (Peter) is on the right in the lower position. Randomly take one Orloj crowning piece and assemble it with the walk of the apostles.
4. Place Round and Rooster Markers: Place the round marker on the leftmost space of the round track according to the number of players. Place the golden rooster on the general rooster track on the number indicated by the round marker.
5. Set Up Zodiac Dials: Prepare the zodiac dials in the same way as the month dials, using the same number of draws based on player count.
6. Place Final Construction Dial: Place the large final construction dial in the center of the calendar with its initial side facing up.
7. Place Hammer Discs: Place a hammer disc in the indicated position in each of the two construction zones (months and zodiac).
8. Set Up Calendar Sections and Painter: Shuffle the 12 calendar sections and place them face up in a random order to form a circle around the calendar. Place the painter in the starting position.
