Overview

Players: 2 to 4

Duration: About 15 minutes

Goal: Score the most points by building a pyramid of cards

Turn Structure

On their turn, a player performs the following actions:

1. Choose a card

Take one card from the three available in the river (the 3 cards in the third row above).

2. Place the card

The first card can be placed freely on the lowest level. Subsequent cards must be:

• Adjacent to at least one previously placed card, or

• Placed above two cards from the level below.

3. Shooting Star (if shown on the card)

Draw a Shooting Star card (the single card in the top row above), look at it, and keep it face down.

4. Refill the river

Add a new card from one of the two Exodus decks (the 2 cards with yellow back in the second row above).

5. Check rotations

If both decks show the same color, all players must rotate one card of that color (if possible).

End of the Game

The game ends when each player has built a pyramid of 10 cards (4 levels).

Scoring

Each visible Pyramid symbol is worth 1 point. Aliens only score for the player who has the most. Pyramids in your largest connected area of the same color score a second time.

Victory

The player with the most points wins the game.
