If you want to draw cards, choose the globe icon (the back of the card graphic).

Click on any of the available cards in the display or on the deck (blind cards). A display of how many cards you have taken is shown.

Complete this action by clicking on the arrow.

Movement

You can make a movement by using up movement cards (C) and place feet and/or columns on the game board, each card counts as two movement points. To do this choose the foot symbol in the selection window.

Click on as many movement cards in your hand that you want play.

Thus the number of possible moves is displayed in the small feet action window. The player who has chosen this action gets an extra movement point. All other players may make a movement action after the top player has finished their movement turn. They have to play movement cards to move. If they do not want to perform the action, click on the little arrow in the Action window. Not performing the movement action provides 1 action card from the deck.

The active player has clicked on two of his three movement cards and therefore has five movement points available (2 cards = 4 +1 movement points as they selected the action).

For the movement action of the following rules apply:

• For each movement point a player may place one foot or one column.
• A foot can be placed on any space Other a column space.
• Columns can be placed on columns spaces only .
• The first foot must be placed adjacent to the temple.
• Additional feet must be placed either adjacent to the temple, or adjacent to existing player's feet.
• Columns must therefore adjacent to existing player's own feet.
• When you place in a booty tile space, you get this action at the end of your movement action.
• A maximum of two different colored feet/columns may be on any legal space. If you want to enter a space already occupied, it will cost one additional movement point.
• One can only use as many feet/columns which are available!

Purchase

If you have gold cards in hand, you can purchase. For this you choose the money symbol.

Select/clicks on the gold cards you wish to use.

The small action each window will display how much money you have available for purchasing. You can buy:

• feet and/or columns to replenish your supply. Each foot/column it costs one gold. To buy feet/columns, simply clicks on the item as many times as you want. In the action window action, the spent cards will show darker.

Here the player has already used up two of the four gold.

• movement points You can use the money so to place Feet/columns from your own stock on the board. Each foot/column costs one gold. The same rules apply as per the movement action : no-one else is given this option.

• Sacrifice Tiles : There are four different types (temples, dancers, gifts, Priest), each available in four stages (I - IV) costing 1/3/6/10 gold respectively. Already purchased tiles may be upgraded by paying the difference.

To purchase sacrifice tiles, click one of the icon you want:

Available tiles are displayed with the corresponding costs. To purchase simply clicks on the desired level. You can purchase a higher level, if you have sufficient gold as it is possible to buy multiple sacrifice tile levels.

Basically: You can buy mix of all, as long as you have enough gold.

So you can for example purchase a column, place two feet on the map and buy a sacrifice tile level I and increase another sacrifice tile from level II to III. This example would cost seven gold (1 + 2 + 1 + 3).

Acquire god tile

Another available action is to acquire one of the available god tiles from those available (4). To purchase a god tile, you must be able to provide a big enough sacrifice. The sacrifices required are displayed on the left side of the tile.

To secure the favor of Stonkus, you have to provide a sacrifice of all four types: 4 from one type, 3 from another and 1 from the other two types of sacrifice either from cards in hand or from sacrifice tiles.

Example: Stokus : Use a "temple" Level III tile + discard a "temple" card, use a "dancer" Level I + two "dancer" cards, a "gift" Level I tile and discard a "priest" card.

If you want to purchase a tile gods, you click the icon with the sacrifices. It will open two adjacent action windows.

First select the god tile you wish to acquire.

The selected gods tile now moves to the small window. The left panel shows the number of existing sacrifices available, in this example everything still shows as zero. Click on your available sacrifices from the cards in hand until Stonkus has been paid for.

You can complete your action by clicking on the arrow. Yellow god tiles will be executed immediately.

You will score as many points as the era in which you are currently for each god tile acquired.

Basically, for gods tiles:

• For each action you can only acquire one god tile!
• Yellow god tiles offer a one time immediate advantage .
• Blue gods provide a permanent advantage the game.
