Aton

 

Players are high priests and vie for power in the ancient temples of Theben, each wants to place his priest on the best spots in the temples. In a turn players draw 4 cards each and allocate them to the four cartouches on the board, then cards are turned up and evaluated. Cartouche 1 scores victory points, cartouche 2 determines sequence of play and removes priests, cartouche 3 determines the temple where stones are placed or removed and cartouche 4 determines the number of stones a player can place in the temples. Unplaced priests end in the realm of the dead, if this is full the temples are scored. A player fulfilling the victory condition of 40 victory points or filling all spots in a temple, or all green and yellow spots immediately wins the game.
