In a nutshell

    The Protestants' home spaces glow on the board: the twelve Huguenot ones in France in white, the nineteen Dutch ones in the Netherlands in orange. France holds the white ones and Spain the orange ones, so France's and Spain's power cards are ringed in the column of our four cards. At 1:00.
