Dive into the heart of the mysterious Mayan city of Pacal the Great. Strategically place your divine stones with your vessels. Build your pyramids with your constellations of stones... and take control of the city's districts! Who will devise the best strategy to dominate Palenque? A captivating game of placement and strategy, where chance plays a minor role.
Game objective: Score the most points by building pyramids in the city of Palenque.
Game rules: The city is divided into districts of different values. Each player places their saucer on the central district. The first player rolls the die; their roll will be used by all players. The die is then rolled by the next player.
On their turn, each player has 4 actions (only actions 1 and 4 are mandatory)
1- Move their saucer the number indicated on the die, in a straight line or in a zigzag. If necessary, you can move anywhere on the board by using an energy token.
2- Place a divine stone in their saucer. If moving in a straight line, place another stone in another player's saucer. (optional)
3- Build a pyramid of 1 to 5 levels if their stones form one of the constellations present on the guide card. The pyramids themselves can be used for constellations... so construction accelerates during the game. (optional)
4- Score points for the district of that pyramid if the player has the majority in terms of the number of levels.
The game ends when a player reaches the end-of-game score or when they have built all their pyramids. Each player then adds the points from the districts where they have a majority, as well as those from the lake and river, and their remaining energy tokens.
