Description

The Story - The Gypsy peoples originate from Sind region now in Pakistan. When entering west Europe they initially had letters of protection from the King of Hungary. This privileged situation did not last long as amazement at their way of life led to hostilities. The Gypsy way of life still leads to hostilities from people of their host nations. Europeans regard "private property" as sacrosanct, whereas gypsies do not have a word for possess which gives to two incompatible ways of life and a continual problem of gypsies being regarded as "thieves" from the European's view.

The Object - Earn as much gold as we can and bring it to the Big Gypsy Gathering. We need to help finance the various Festivities of Weddings, Baptisms, Meetings, Feasts and Entertainment. This must be done before border checkpoints are closed, preventing us from travelling and earning our living. We have only two rounds of events to accomplish our goal of raising money for the Big Gypsy Gathering.
