Description
Shuffle and deal 10 face down cards to each player and 1 face up as a discard pile. Arrange these cards in a row of 4 followed by a row of 3, 2 and 1 above to form a "pyramid" (your temple). Create the totem (optional). Draw 4 cards and place them in a face up column. Cards in your temple matching the color(s) of the corresponding totem level are worth negative points. On your turn you may FLIP one of your cards face up or DRAW from the deck or discard pile and exchange with any of your cards. Your temple must be completed from bottom to top. Cards (or card sections) with the same color or number adjacent are worth zero. White "colorless" cards are exempt from this rule. Cards matching the color of the very top of the temple are worth double. When any player completes their temple, all other players get one more turn. Then flip all remaining face down cards face up. The player with the most points is the winner. If tied, players share the victory. —description from the designer
