Each player has four figures that can be placed on the board in stead of and next to a tile: king, priest, merchant, warrior. Similar figures can not coexist in the same region.

At one point in his life, Sackson turned down an offer to bring his collection elsewhere for permanent safekeeping. I just read this yesterday, but I can't find the site that references it.
