About...

Build temples, cornfields, and villages in the three valleys surrounding the capital to generate the resources needed to build pyramids, sacrifice to the gods, and perform rituals. Each turn, players simultaneously select a card from their hand to determine turn order and the resources they collect. Players then take individual turns, spending resources to build new homes, gain special abilities, sacrifice to the gods, and build pyramids. The action card played determines three important aspects of each player's turn:

The resource printed at the top of the card determines which row or column to activate on the resource grid to collect income.

The icon in the middle of the map corresponds to one of the nine properties of the building spaces on the map (one of the three building types, one of the three regions, or one of the three terrain types). On their turn, players can only build on the tiles corresponding to this icon.

The number at the bottom of the card dictates the turn order for the round the card is played.

At the end of the round, players draft new cards from the center supply, with the last undrafted card becoming the scoring bonus card for the next round. After five rounds, players score points for pyramids, for their position on the sacrifice track, and for their ritual cards. The player with the most victory points wins.
