RULES OF THE GAME

official rules by Ystari Games

GOAL OF THE GAME

The players embody archaeologists working for patrons. They excavate the land of Egypt to find precious artifacts, which will adorn the most prestigious rooms of the Museum. At the end of the game, the Museum organizes a great exhibition. The player who has earned the most prestige (by discovering things and getting advantageous places in the Museum) wins the game.

PATRONS

Lady Violet

The player takes a cube their color from the general stock and places it in their personal stock. Then, the player starts a new excavation or extends a pre-existing excavation. If the player has no cubes left in the general stock, they cannot carry out this action.

Lord Lemon

The player may start a new excavation by taking a cube from their personal stock and placing it on a space containing a pyramid, OR extend an existing excavation by placing one of the two cubes of their personal stock on a space containing a pyramid.

Sir Brown

The player sends one of their men out to reserve a room in the Museum. Instead of playing in the region, they place a cube from their personal stock into the Museum (make sure you follow the Museum placing rules).

Mrs. Blackmore

The player may start a new excavation by placing two cubes from their personal stock instead of one. The player puts the first cube on a free space of their choice, and the second cube on a free space, horizontally or vertically adjacent to the first cube. These cubes cannot be placed on a space containing a pyramid.



Colonel Tangerine

The player may extend an existing excavation by placing three cubes from their personal stock instead of two. The player places the first cube on a free space, horizontally or vertically adjacent to a space already containing a cube their color. Then the player places the second cube on a free space, horizontally or vertically adjacent to the first one, and the third cube on a free space, horizontally or vertically adjacent to the second cube. These cubes cannot be placed on a space containing a pyramid.
