-Players are randomized into groups with 12 participants each. First, a [[Ceremonial Voting Booth]] has to be built. Players are eliminated one per day in building and voting rounds. When there are an even number of players left in the group, everybody builds a certain [[Cartouche|Cartouche building]], and the one building the smallest is eliminated; when there are an odd number of players left, everybody votes on somebody else, and the player with the most votes is eliminated. The last three players will get certificates to level 2 cartouche or if already in level 2, pass the test.
