About this game
Load stone blocks onto boats, then sail them to one of five building sites where the order stones are placed determines scoring. The twist: anyone can sail any boat, so your carefully loaded stones might end up at a monument you did not intend. Four simple actions per turn mask deep tactical decisions about when to load, when to sail, and when to let others commit first. Each monument scores differently: the pyramid rewards early placement, the temple rewards top positions, and the burial chamber rewards adjacency. Elegant, confrontational, and beautifully produced.
