Gameplay

Temple cards

Play a temple card

Playing a temple card does not cost any stone, but the player must instead pay for construction of a part of the temple. To do so he chooses the top temple tower of one of the 2 tower piles and pays 2 sacrifice cards from his hand: one sacrifice card must match the one indicated on the right side of the chosen tower, this sacrifice card is returned to the supply of sacrifice cards; the other card is any sacrifice card of his choice, this card is placed face down on top of the altar. Then he attaches the temple tower to the temple base.

Note: When one of the tower piles is empty the player only has the choice of 1 tower.

Example: A player plays a temple card and chooses this tower. He places 1 rice card back into the supply and places 1 sacrifice card face down onto the altar.

Note: In the exceptional case that no temple tower is available, the player places 1 sacrifice card of his choice back into the supply and 1 sacrifice card of his choice face down onto the altar.

Temple card scoring

The player with the most temple cards in front of them receives 1 sacrifice card of his choice from the supply. In case of a tie, nobody receives a sacrifice card. (exception: Shiva-figure, see below)

Shiva

When a player plays a card from his hand with a demon-symbol on it (priest or temple card), then that player immediately places the Shiva-figure in front of him to protect him against the demon.

When a player with the Shiva-figure is involved in a tie for temple card scoring, then that player wins the tie and is considered to have the majority for that scoring.

Game End

At the end of the game each player scores 7 points for each temple card in front of them.
