Therefore the following is legal. Use a power plant to shift focus to N eras before the present, remove 1 warp tile, and move up the time-travel track. Then on a later turn in the same era, use a ''second'' power plant to shift focus to N eras before the present, remove a ''second'' warp tile, and move up the time-travel track ''again''. The focus marker does not shift, but it still counts as time travel because power plants actions are always referenced to the current era, not to the location of the focus token. <br /> <br /> == BGA Interface ==<br /> When you build a superproject, click the single space on your player board that will become the leftmost of the two spaces taken up by the superproject.</div>

A kingdom may contain leaders of different players as long as they are different colors.<br /> <br /> ==Tile Placement==<br /> Tiles can be placed anywhere on the map with the following restrictions:<br /> * No tiles except for blue may be placed on rivers<br /> * Blue tiles can '''only''' be placed on rivers<br /> * No tile may be placed on top of a leader or a monument<br /> * Only [[#Catastrophe Tiles|catastrophes]] can be placed on other tiles<br /> <br /> When a tile is placed in a kingdom, the leader of the matching color in that kingdom is awarded an influence point of the tile's color. If there is no leader of that color, but there is a king (black leader), then the king (black leader) is awarded an influence point of the tile's color.<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that it joins two kingdoms, a [[#War|war]] is started and no influence point will be awarded for the tile placement (even if there are no opposing leaders). A tile may not be placed so as to join more than two kingdoms.<br /> <br /> If a tile is placed such that a 2x2 square of like-colored tiles now exists, a [[#Monuments|monument]] of a matching color may be built.<br /> <br /> ==Leader Positioning==<br /> A leader may be positioned from your hand to the board, from the board to another spot on the board, or returned from the board to your hand with the following restrictions.<br /> * A leader must be placed on an empty space<br /> * A leader must always be adjacent (common edges, not diagonal) to a temple (red tile)<br /> * A leader may not be placed to join kingdoms<br /> * A leader cannot be placed on a river<br /> <br /> Placing a leader does not award any points. However, a player may not score any points without having at least one leader on the board.<br /> <br /> If a leader is placed in a kingdom containing a similar colored leader, then a [[#Revolts|revolt]] occurs.<br /> <br /> ==Revolt==<br /> A revolt occurs when a player places a leader in a kingdom that already contains a leader of that color.<br /> <br /> The newly placed leader is the attacking leader and the opposing leader is the defender.<br /> <br /> To resolve the revolt strength needs to be determined.<br /> * First count the number of temples (red tiles) adjacent to each leader, that is their board strength.<br /> * Then the attacking player may commit temples (red tiles) from their hand as additional support.<br /> * After seeing the attacking leader's support the defender may likewise commit temples (red tiles) from their hand as support.<br /> <br /> The winner is the leader with the greater total strength (board strength + committed support); the defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The losing leader is returned to their owners hand, and the winner scores one red. Tiles committed for support tiles are discarded by both attacker and defender.<br /> <br /> ==War==<br /> A war occurs when a player places a tile that joins two kingdoms. All leaders that have a like-colored leader in the joined kingdom are in conflict.<br /> <br /> Wars are resolved through the following steps.<br /> * Determine the leader<br /> The active player may select any color of leaders to resolve first.<br /> * Determine the attacker/defender<br /> If the active player selects a color for which they have a leader, they will be the attacker, otherwise the next player in turn order with a participating leader is the attacker.<br /> * Count board strength for attacker and defender<br /> In a war, a leader's board strength is the number of like-colored tiles in their kingdom.<br /> * Play support from hands<br /> Starting with the attacker, play tiles from hand matching the attacking/defending leader color as committed support. Both attacker and defender will discard these committed-support tiles at the end of the conflict.<br /> * Determine winner <br /> The winning leader is the leader with greater total strength (support on the board + committed support); the defender always wins ties.<br /> * Remove tiles and award points<br /> The loser withdraws from the kingdom their leader and all tiles supporting that leader. This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leader's color plus one influence matching the color of each tile removed from the kingdom.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict, continue to the next war, with the original player picking the next color.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of their turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all 10 temples on the board start with a treasure on them.<br /> After placing a tile and resolving any wars if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles, which cannot be discarded.<br /> Catastrophe tiles may be played on empty spaces or on top of other tiles, but not on top of on leaders or monuments.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and do not serve as a part of any kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Game Board - Advanced Board==<br /> Different map with 14 treasures compared to 10 treasures on Standard map.<br /> <br /> ==War Support - English Variant==<br /> During a conflict (war or revolt) both the attacker and defender are only able to contribute tiles if the total would exceed the strength of the other. This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Advanced Games Rules - Civilization Buildings==<br /> There are four civilization buildings: Palace (black), Market Hall (green), Library (red), Granary (blue).<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical) they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Monuments - Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape (four orthogonal tiles connected to a center tile). A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.<br /> <br /> == Scoring - Open Scoring==<br /> Influence is not hidden during the game.</div>

However, a player may not score any points without having at least one leader on the board.<br /> <br /> If a leader is placed in a kingdom containing a similar colored leader, then a [[#Revolts|revolt]] occurs.<br /> <br /> ==Revolt==<br /> A revolt occurs when a player places a leader in a kingdom that already contains a leader of that color.<br /> <br /> The newly placed leader is the attacking leader and the opposing leader is the defender.<br /> <br /> To resolve the revolt strength needs to be determined.<br /> * First count the number of temples (red tiles) adjacent to each leader, that is their board strength.<br /> * Then the attacking player may commit temples (red tiles) from their hand as additional support.<br /> * After seeing the attacking leader's support the defender may likewise commit temples (red tiles) from their hand as support.<br /> <br /> The winner is the leader with the greater total strength (board strength + committed support); the defender always wins ties.<br /> <br /> The losing leader is returned to their owners hand, and the winner scores one red. Tiles committed for support tiles are discarded by both attacker and defender.<br /> <br /> ==War==<br /> A war occurs when a player places a tile that joins two kingdoms. All leaders that have a like-colored leader in the joined kingdom are in conflict.<br /> <br /> Wars are resolved through the following steps.<br /> * Determine the leader<br /> The active player may select any color of leaders to resolve first.<br /> * Determine the attacker/defender<br /> If the active player selects a color for which they have a leader, they will be the attacker, otherwise the next player in turn order with a participating leader is the attacker.<br /> * Count board strength for attacker and defender<br /> In a war, a leader's board strength is the number of like-colored tiles in their kingdom.<br /> * Play support from hands<br /> Starting with the attacker, play tiles from hand matching the attacking/defending leader color as committed support. Both attacker and defender will discard these committed-support tiles at the end of the conflict.<br /> * Determine winner <br /> The winning leader is the leader with greater total strength (support on the board + committed support); the defender always wins ties.<br /> * Remove tiles and award points<br /> The loser withdraws from the kingdom their leader and all tiles supporting that leader. This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leader's color plus one influence matching the color of each tile removed from the kingdom.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict, continue to the next war, with the original player picking the next color.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of the turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all 10 temples on the board start with a treasure on them.<br /> After placing a tile and resolving any wars if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles, which cannot be discarded.<br /> Catastrophe tiles may be played on empty spaces or on top of other tiles, but not on top of on leaders or monuments.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and do not serve as a part of any kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Game Board - Advanced Board==<br /> Different map with 14 treasures compared to 10 treasures on Standard map.<br /> <br /> ==War Support - English Variant==<br /> During a conflict (war or revolt) both the attacker and defender are only able to contribute tiles if the total would exceed the strength of the other. This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Advanced Games Rules - Civilization Buildings==<br /> There are four civilization buildings: Palace (black), Market Hall (green), Library (red), Granary (blue).<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical) they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Monuments - Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape (four orthogonal tiles connected to a center tile). A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.<br /> <br /> == Scoring - Open Scoring==<br /> Influence is not hidden during the game.</div>

All leaders that have a like-colored leader in the joined kingdom are in conflict.<br /> <br /> Wars are resolved through the following steps.<br /> * Determine the leader<br /> The active player may select any color of leaders to resolve first.<br /> * Determine the attacker/defender<br /> If the active player selects a color for which they have a leader, they will be the attacker, otherwise the next player in turn order with a participating leader is the attacker.<br /> * Count board strength for attacker and defender<br /> In a war, a leader's board strength is the number of like-colored tiles in their kingdom.<br /> * Play support from hands<br /> Starting with the attacker, play tiles from hand matching the attacking/defending leader color as committed support. Both attacker and defender will discard these committed-support tiles at the end of the conflict.<br /> * Determine winner <br /> The winning leader is the leader with greater total strength (support on the board + committed support), defender always wins ties.<br /> * Remove tiles and award points<br /> The loser withdraws from the kingdom their leader and all tiles supporting that leader. This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leader's color plus one influence matching the color of each tile removed from the kingdom.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict, continue to the next war, with the original player picking the next color.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of the turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all 10 temples on the board start with a treasure on them.<br /> After placing a tile and resolving any wars if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles, which cannot be discarded.<br /> Catastrophe tiles may be played on empty spaces or on top of other tiles, but not on top of on leaders or monuments.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and do not serve as a part of any kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Game Board - Advanced Board==<br /> Different map with 14 treasures compared to 10 treasures on Standard map.<br /> <br /> ==War Support - English Variant==<br /> During a conflict (war or revolt) both the attacker and defender are only able to contribute tiles if the total would exceed the strength of the other. This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Advanced Games Rules - Civilization Buildings==<br /> There are four civilization buildings: Palace (black), Market Hall (green), Library (red), Granary (blue).<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical) they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Monuments - Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape (four orthogonal tiles connected to a center tile). A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.<br /> <br /> == Scoring - Open Scoring==<br /> Influence is not hidden during the game.</div>

This may break apart the kingdom.<br /> The winner scores one influence of the defending leaders color plus one for each tile removed.<br /> <br /> If the war involved priests (red leaders), then no temples (red tiles) supporting another leader or containing treasures are removed.<br /> <br /> If there are still leaders in conflict continue to the next war, with the original player picking the next color.<br /> <br /> ==Monuments==<br /> Whenever a player places the fourth tile in a 2x2 square of the same color, a monument may be built on the spot.<br /> The tiles are flipped over and a monument is placed on them.<br /> The monument has 2 colors, and one of those colors must match the flipped tiles.<br /> Monuments do not have a color of their own for purposes of supporting leaders or counting as board strength.<br /> <br /> Monuments regularly provide influence. <br /> Every monument awards 1 influence to the active player at the end of the turn for each of their like-colored leaders in the monument's kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Treasures==<br /> Treasures are wild points.<br /> At the start of the game all 10 temples on the board start with a treasure on them.<br /> After placing a tile and resolving any wars if a kingdom contains 2 treasures and a green leader, the leader's owner picks up one of the treasures.<br /> Some of the starting temples have an extra border around them, those treasures must be taken first if there is an option.<br /> <br /> ==Catastrophe Tiles==<br /> Each player starts the game with 2 catastrophe tiles, which cannot be discarded.<br /> Catastrophe tiles may be played on empty spaces or on top of other tiles, but not on top of on leaders or monuments.<br /> They destroy the tile under them and do not serve as a part of any kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Game Board - Advanced Board==<br /> Different map with 14 treasures compared to 10 treasures on Standard map.<br /> <br /> ==War Support - English Variant==<br /> During a conflict (war or revolt) both the attacker and defender are only able to contribute tiles if the total would exceed the strength of the other. This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Advanced Games Rules - Civilization Buildings==<br /> There are four civilization buildings: Palace (black), Market Hall (green), Library (red), Granary (blue).<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical) they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Monuments - Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape (four orthogonal tiles connected to a center tile). A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.<br /> <br /> == Scoring - Open Scoring==<br /> Influence is not hidden during the game.</div>

This variant prevents players from using conflicts as a way to simply dump tiles from their hand. <br /> <br /> ==Advanced Games Rules - Civilization Buildings==<br /> There are four civilization buildings: Palace (black), Market Hall (green), Library (red), Granary (blue).<br /> <br /> When a player places a tile so that there are three or more in a row (horizontal or vertical) they may place the same color building on any of those tiles. <br /> <br /> If the building is already on the board, a player may move it to another row if it is longer than the one it is currently on. <br /> <br /> Tiles that have a building cannot be destroyed by war, revolt, or catastrophe. They can be flipped to create a monument which takes the building off the board.<br /> <br /> Civilization buildings must be placed prior to building a monument or wonder. <br /> <br /> Placing a tile into a kingdom that contains a building gives the leader there two cubes instead of one (blue leader receives two blue cubes instead of one, etc.).<br /> <br /> ==Monuments - Wonder Variant==<br /> The wonder is a special, single, five-tile monument in a cross-like shape (four orthogonal tiles connected to a center tile). A player may build this wonder when they place a tile that results in a cross-like shape of a single color. All rules for monuments apply.<br /> <br /> At the end of a turn in which a player has a King connected to the wonder, they may receive a cube of any color they choose.<br /> <br /> == Scoring - Open Scoring==<br /> Influence is not hidden during the game.</div>
