Kleopatra und die Baumeister

 

Cleopatra has offered a reward for the builder who constructs the most beautiful palace for her. The game is set out according to very detailed instructions. In his move a player has one action, he can either visit the market or the quarry, in any case he can use character cards. In the market he takes all cards of a row, a surplus of hand cards results in corruption markers. At the quarry he can pick up a palace element for a combination of resource- and trader cards, build the element, move Cleopatra if necessary and roll the high priest dice. If all dice are on the altar, a sacrifice is made, the player with the highest donation can discard 3 corruption markers. If Cleopatra reaches the palace portal remaining cards bring corruption markers or money, the most corrupt builder is sacrificed to the crocodile god and the then richest player wins the game.
