Overview
The game ends after all 7 columns have been constructed with 5 stones in each. Players have either white or black stones.
Turn
On your turn, you have two options:
- Take 1-3 stones (either 3 of your own colour, 2 of the neutral grey or 1 of your opponent's colour), from the Quarry into your Workshop, which can hold up to 3 stones.
2. Place a stone from your Workshop into a temple column.
A column can have a maximum of 5 stones on it.
Each temple column has a bonus action a player can take IF they supplied their own stones (hover for info).
If a temple bonus causes changes to another column, no additional bonus from the adjusted column is provided
Game End and Scoring
The game ends when all 7 columns are completed, with 5 stones on each.
Each column is scored independently, whoever has the most stones of their colour in that column wins the column.
Each column scores for the winner as follows: 1VP per winner stone, 3VP per opponent's stone, -2VP per neutral stone (thus, it is possible to win and score negatively, e.g. 4 neutrals and 1 of yours is -7 VP)
The player with the most points after scoring all 7 columns wins!
