Gameplay

In phase 2 each player has a new action available during their turn: Build a hut. This action can be performed instead of the regular action Play cards.

Build a hut

Place a farmer card from your hand onto the discard pile to build a hut in the corresponding area on the village board. Then place 1, 2 or 3 sacrifice cards of your choice from your hand back into the supply to determine on which field in that area you can place your hut. After placing your hut, you immediately receive the bonus of that area:

• Bananas: Choose an available banana plantation tile, receive the corresponding bonus and remove the tile from the game.
• Peppers: Take 4 stone from the supply.
• Peanuts and rice: Take the Ganesha figure and place it in front of you.

Example: Robert places a pepper farmer onto the discard pile. Next he places 1 pepper and 1 rice card back into the supply. He builds a hut on field 2 of the pepper area.

Overview of the banana plantation tiles

• Receive 1 VP for each stonemason you have in front of you.
• Receive 1 VP for each priest you have in front of you.
• Receive 1 VP for each pepper farmer and 1 VP for each banana farmer you have in front of you.
• Receive 1 VP for each peanut farmer and 1 VP for each rice farmer you have in front of you.

Ganesha

At each priest scoring the player with the Ganesha-figure receives 2 victory points.

Note: This player receives points for the Ganesha-figure even [if] they don't have any priests in front of them.

Game end

At the end of the game the player with the Ganesha-figure receives 2 victory points.

Important: If a player still has any unbuilt huts at the end of the game then that player does not participate in the end scoring and automatically loses the game. So, you must build all the huts you received at the start of the game.
