Overview

The game ends after all 7 temple columns have been constructed with 5 stones in each. Players have either white or black stones.


Turn

On your turn, you have two options:

  1. 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 onto a temple column, and possibly carry out a Bonus Action.


Column Bonus Actions

Each column location (α, β, γ, δ, π, Σ, Ω) has its own Bonus Action that a player can take IF they supplied their own stone (right click/tap and hold/hover to see a tooltip with info for each column location).

If a column's Bonus Action 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: 1 VP per winner stone, 3 VP per opponent's stone, -2 VP 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!
