8 Sun Ship tokens
Game Preparation
Shuffle all the Sun Ship tokens and place them in a face-down draw pile near the ships.
Course of Play
At the start of each round
After setting up the ships, draw 4 Sun Ship tokens from the draw pile. Place 1 face-up on the rear space of each of the 4 ships.
At the end of a round
Set aside the 4 Sun Ship tokens used this round. At the end of rounds 2 and 4, shuffle all 8 of the Sun Ship tokens together to create a new draw pile.
Activation of the Sun Ship tokens
Whenever a player places a stone on a Sun Ship token, they may immediately take the associated action for that Sun Ship token (but they don't have to). The placed stone remains on this space in either case.
The Sun Ship Actions
Take 1 stone of your color from the quarry and place it on your sled. If you have no free space on your sled you cannot use this action.
Take up to 2 stones of your color from the quarry and place them on your sled. If you have no free space on your sled you cannot use this action.
Swap 1 of your market cards with any face-up card on the market board. The swapped card is placed face-up on the market board. If the chosen card is red you must use it immediately. If you have no cards and/or there are no face-up cards on the market board you cannot use this action.
Swap the positions of any 2 stones on any 1 ship. The stones may be of any color. Note: If one of the swapped stones is placed on the space of a Sun Ship token, the swap action will not trigger the Sun Ship token action beneath it. If there is no ship with at least 2 stones on it you cannot use this action.
Gain 1 point.
Return 1 stone from your sled to the quarry and gain 2 points (not allowed multiple times). If you don't have at least 1 stone on your sled you cannot use this action.
Return 1 stone from your sled to the quarry and draw the top market card from the draw pile (not allowed multiple times). If the drawn card is red you must use it immediately. If you do not have at least 1 stone on your sled you cannot use this action.
Choose a ship that has not yet sailed this round. Move it near to and pointing at any site board that has not been sailed to this round. The chosen ship must sail to the chosen site board this round, and no other ship may be sailed to the chosen site board this round.
Note: If playing with the mini expansion "The Pharaoh's Favors", using the special action to change the order of stones on a ship will never trigger a Sun Ship action. However, placing stones on ships using the other special actions may trigger them.
