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 / temple 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 Bonus Action causes changes to (an)other column(s), no additional bonus from the other adjusted column(s) is provided
Location α:
The player who places a stone of their color in these locations may move the top Gray color stone of the column at a different temple location to a third different — and valid — temple location.
Location β:
The player who places a stone of their color in these locations may move the top White color stone of the column at a different temple location to a third different — and valid — temple location.
Location γ:
The player who places a stone of their color in this location may return the top stone (of any color) of the column from a different temple location back to the Quarry.
Location δ:
The player who places a stone of their color in this location may move a stone (of any color) from the Quarry to their own workshop; the player must have room for it in their workshop.
Location π:
The player who places a stone of their color in this location may move a stone (of any color) from their rival's workshop to their own workshop; the player must have room for it in their workshop.
Location Σ:
The player who places a stone of their color in this location may place a stone (of any color) from their own workshop to another valid temple location.
Location Ω:
The player who places a stone of their color in these locations may move the top Black color stone of the column at a different temple location to a third different — and valid — temple location.
Game End and Scoring
The game ends when all 7 columns are completed, with 5 stones on each.
- 1. Each column is scored independently, whoever has the most stones of their colour in that column wins the column.
- 2. Each column scores for the winner as follows:
1 VP per winner's stone
3 VP per opponent's stone
-2 VP per neutral stone
Thus, it is possible to win a column and score negatively, e.g. 4 neutral stones and 1 of your own stones will give you -7 VP!
The player with the most points after scoring all 7 columns wins.
