Drstuey: correct points

The object of the game is to earn points by completing objectives. There are three types of objectives: Plot, Bamboo and Panda. Players start with one of each type.

Each turn consists of 2 steps:

# Determine weather (except in the players first turn)
# Perform 2 different actions, place any number of improvements and irrigation channels, and complete any number of objectives

'''Weather types (always optional)'''
* '''Sun''' - take a 3rd action
* '''Rain''' - grow 1 bamboo on any irrigated plot
* '''Wind''' - may take two identical actions this turn
* '''Storm''' - move panda to any plot and he eats a bamboo as normal
* '''Clouds''' - take an improvement chip from the bank, if no chips are available, choose 1 of the other 4 types of weather
* '''Question mark''' - choose any 1 of the 5 types of weather

'''Actions'''
* '''Plots''' - draw 3 plot tiles and place one
* '''Irrigation''' - Take an irrigation channel from the reserve. Either place it immediately or store for later use.
* '''Gardener''' - Move the gardener any number of tiles in a straight line and then grow bamboo.
* '''Panda''' - Move the panda any number of tiles in a straight line and then eat a bamboo section. The bamboo is then placed in your reserve.
* '''Objective''' - Take another objective card from one of the 3 decks. There is a hand limit of 5 cards.

Improvements can only be placed on plots with no bamboo. There can only be 1 improvement on a plot and once placed cannot be changed. To place an improvement as soon as the plot is placed, pick the improvement first.

Irrigation channels must be between two plots. When a plot is irrigated for the first time it grows bamboo.

Plots can only be placed adjacent to the pond or in a spot next to 2 other existing plots.

The gardener grows bamboo on his plot and all adjacent irrigated plots of the same color.

'''Game ends''' when a certain number of objectives have been completed.

* 2 players - 9 objectives
* 3 players - 8 objectives
* 4 players - 7 objectives

The first player to complete the required number of objectives triggers the final round and scores 2 bonus points. The other players have a final turn.

The highest score wins, the tie breaker is number of points on panda objectives. If the score is still tied then all tied players win.

Drstuey: Formatting, add actions, and some other changes and additions

Gamehelpsobek

2014-07-22T11:37:50Z

Drstuey: /* Theme */

==Theme==
Players are merchants trading in the economy that has grown up next to the construction site of the temple dedicated to Sobek. There's a market, and the feluccas sailing up and down the Nile are bringing goods of all sorts. You have 3 rounds in which to acquire more money than your rivals, but try not to become too corrupt.

==Game turns and actions==

On your turn you must choose one of the 3 actions. Then play passes to the player on your left. The actions are:

* '''Take a card from the marketplace and add it to your hand'''
: Only the first four cards (starting from the left) are available. Taking the first available card has no consequences since the order of arrival of the feluccas is respected. However, taking one of the other cards causes corruption. All the cards that you skip end up in your corruption pile.

* '''Play a character card and apply its power'''
: See below for powers.

* '''Play a set'''
: A set is a group of at least three goods cards of the same type. A set can include one or more amulets which act as wild cards (jokers). A set can also include characters - each character is associated with a goods type; this is shown on the card. When a character is played as part of a set, its power is ignored.
: It is possible to add cards to a set that has already been played (in order to earn more points during scoring), but the same rule still applies: you must add a minimum of 3 new cards.
: When a set is played an event are triggered (provided at least 1 of the 5 event tokens remains). The player who played the set chooses an event from the remaining tokens and immediately applies its effect. The token is then discarded.

==Event tokens==
There are 12 event tokens with 5 randomly selected for each round:
* 4 x Guild - (one of each of snake, reed, ankh, scorpion). On the scoring track, move your scoring marker forward to the next space of that symbol and move an opponent's scoring marker back to the next space of that symbol.
* 2 x Flood - Take another turn
* 2 x Curse - Add a curse token to another player's corruption pile; it counts as 2 cards in that player's pile.
* 2 x Prosperity - add the token to one of your fish, cattle or wheat sets, thus increasing the score of this set.
* 1 x Embalming - return all the cards from your corruption pile to your hand
* 1 x Deceit - Score the number of cards in your corruption pile

==Character cards==
* 1 x Queen Sobek Neferou - draw 3 cards and add them to your hand.
* 2 x High Priest/Priestess - discard all the cards of one goods type from your corruption pile. Characters of that goods type can be discarded. Amulets (wild cards) cannot be discarded.
* 2 x Scribe - your opponents reduce their hands down to 6 cards; the remainder are added to their corruption pile.
* 1 x Vizir - add a card of your choice to your hand from an opponent's corruption pile.
* 1 x Courtesan - add 1 or 2 cards from your hand to an existing played set.
* 1 x Thief - steal a card from an opponent. You can see the different coloured backs of the card so you know which type of card you are stealing.

==Goods cards==
There are 54 goods cards in total:
:6 x Ivory
:7 x Ebony
:7 x Marble
:9 x Cattle
:10 x Fish
:10 x Wheat
:5 x Amulet
Nine of the cards have a different coloured back; the player's starting hand is dealt from these leaving 45 cards which are shuffled with the character cards to form the deck. In a two player game 9 cards are removed at random so there will be only 5 goods deliveries not 6 as normal.

==End of the round==
The round ends and is scored when the last card is taken from the marketplace.

Each player may play ''horizontal'' sets from their hand. These do not score as highly as sets played in the round proper but they do reduce the number of cards in the hand.

You cannot play character cards; you cannot add to existing sets.

All cards remaining in the players hand are added to their corruption pile.

Sets are scored by multiplying the number of scarabs in the set by the number of cards in the set (including amulets, characters and Prosperity tokens). Horizontal sets are scored by adding scarabs.

Then the '''corruption penalty''' is applied. The player with the most cards in their corruption pile (including Curse tokens) is the most corrupt. In the event of a tie the player with the most scarabs. If there is still a tie then all players receive the penalty. The size of the corruption penalty depends on the amount of points earned by the player through scoring sets. For every 10 points earned through sets the player will move back to the next symbol of the type they ended up on. For example if Kate earned 23 points and ended up on the Ankh symbol then this is 2 "lots" of ten and so she will move back 2 Ankh symbols.

== Game end ==
The game ends after 3 rounds. The game can end early if one player gets more than 100 points.

For every 10 points earned through sets the player will move back to the next symbol of the type they ended up on. For example if Kate earned 23 points and ended up on the Ankh symbol then this is 2 "lots" of ten and so she will move back 2 Ankh symbols.

== Game end ==
The game ends after 3 rounds. The game can end early if one player gets more than 100 points.

Drstuey: complete rewrite, removing the text copied from the rules and summarising instead, plus adding more

==Theme==
Players are merchants trading in the economy that has grown up next to the construction site of the temple dedicated to Sobek. There’s a market, and the feluccas sailing up and down the Nile are bringing goods of all sorts. You have 3 rounds in which to acquire more money than your rivals, but try not to become too corrupt.

==Game turns and actions==

On your turn you must choose one of the 3 actions. Then play passes to the player on your left. The actions are:

* '''Take a card from the marketplace and add it to your hand'''
: Only the first four cards (starting from the left) are available. Taking the first available card has no consequences since the order of arrival of the feluccas is respected. However, taking one of the other cards causes corruption. All the cards that you skip end up in your corruption pile.

* '''Play a character card and apply its power'''

* '''Play a set'''
: A set is a group of at least three goods cards of the same type. A set can include one or more amulets which act as wild cards (jokers). A set can also include characters - each character is associated with a goods type; this is shown on the card. When a character is played as part of a set, its power is ignored.
: It is possible to add cards to a set that has already been played (in order to earn more points during scoring), but the same rule still applies: you must add a minimum of 3 new cards.
: When a set is played an event are triggered (provided at least 1 of the 5 event tokens remains). The player who played the set chooses an event from the remaining tokens and immediately applies its effect. The token is then discarded.

==Event tokens==
There are 12 event tokens with 5 randomly selected for each round:
* 4 x Guild - (one of each of snake, reed, ankh, scorpion). On the scoring track, move your scoring marker forward to the next space of that symbol and move an opponent's scoring marker back to the next space of that symbol.
* 2 x Flood - Take another turn
* 2 x Curse - Add a curse token to another player's corruption pile; it counts as 2 cards in that player's pile.
* 2 x Prosperity - add the token to one of your fish, cattle or wheat sets, thus increasing the score of this set.
* 1 x Embalming - return all the cards from your corruption pile to your hand
* 1 x Deceit - Score the number of cards in your corruption pile

==Character cards==
* 1 x Queen Sobek Neferou - draw 3 cards and add them to your hand.
* 2 x High Priest/Priestess - discard all the cards of one goods type from your corruption pile. Characters of that goods type can be discarded. Amulets (wild cards) cannot be discarded.
* 2 x Scribe - your opponents reduce their hands down to 6 cards; the remainder are added to their corruption pile.
* 1 x Vizir - add a card of your choice to your hand from an opponent's corruption pile.
* 1 x Courtesan - add 1 or 2 cards from your hand to an existing played set.
* 1 x Thief - steal a card from an opponent. You can see the different coloured backs of the card so you know which type of card you are stealing.

==End of the round==
The round ends and is scored when the last card is taken from the marketplace.

Each player may play ''horizontal'' sets from their hand. These do not score as highly as sets played in the round proper but they do reduce the number of cards in the hand.

You cannot play character cards; you cannot add to existing sets.

All cards remaining in the players hand are added to their corruption pile.

Sets are scored by multiplying the number of scarabs in the set by the number of cards in the set (including amulets, characters and Prosperity tokens). Horizontal sets are scored by adding scarabs.

Then the '''corruption penalty''' is applied. The player with the most cards in their corruption pile (including Curse tokens) is the most corrupt. In the event of a tie the player with the most scarabs. If there is still a tie then all players receive the penalty. The size of the corruption penalty depends on the amount of points earned by the player through scoring sets. For every 10 points earned through sets the player will move back to the next symbol of the type they ended up on. For example if Kate earned 23 points and ended up on the Ankh symbol then this is 2 "lots" of ten and so she will move back 2 Ankh symbols.

== Game end ==
The game ends after 3 rounds. The game can end early if one player gets more than 100 points.

Drstuey: details of prestige buildings

Thanks to Mark Johnson (Eeeville) for his Tournay card descriptions used in the BGA adaptation!

The '''game ends''' when both of the following conditions are met, or if condition 1 is met by more than one player:
# A player has filled 9 spaces with at least 2 visible prestige buildings.
# One Town Crier card more than the number of players has been revealed.
The last round is triggered at the beginning of the start player's turn and each player gets a normal turn in this round. Then all players can choose a final card to play into their districts.

Important notes:
* You cannot score more than 12 victory points from the same prestige building.
* If two players build the same prestige building there is only a single scoring.

Drstuey:

Players paddle canoes along the Niagara river to collect gems of five different colors and bring them safely back to shore without being swept over the waterfall. To win, a player must return either:
* five different colored gems
* four gems of the same color
* seven gems of any color
The tie break is the value of the gems - the gems closer to the waterfall have a higher value. In order the gems are:
: Gem - Color - Value
: Amethyst - Violet - 1
: Diamond - Clear - 2
: Amber - Yellow - 3
: Sapphire - Blue - 4
: Ruby - Pink - 5
Players have a set of 7 paddle cards which they play to determine the speed of their canoes and the speed of the river. All players must select the card they will play before the players then move their canoes in turn order. Once a card has been played it is not available to play again until all 7 cards have been played.

After all the players have moved their canoes the river moves causing all the canoes on the river to be swept downstream. The river moves the same number of places as the lowest value paddle card played plus or minus a modifier depending on the weather. At the beginning of the game the weather is set to 0 so there is no modification but each player also has a cloud card as part of their set of paddle cards that allows them to adjust the weather and hence make the river speed up or slow down.

The number on the paddle card determines the number of spaces that the canoe moves - it costs 2 paddle points to pick up (or offload) a gem. Thus if a player chose their 5 card they could move their canoe 5 spaces *or* they could move their canoe 3 spaces and pick up a gem (or they could offload a gem and move their canoe 3 spaces). Both canoes may be moved with the same paddle card - both canoes are moved the same amount, the paddles points are not split between the canoes.

When both canoes are out of the water only one can be launched in that turn. If both canoes are in the water they must both be moved using the full value of the paddle points - a player cannot chose not to move one canoe and must always use the full value of the paddle points. However if one of the canoes is out of the water a player may choose not to launch it. Canoes may only move upstream or downstream in a single turn - it is not permitted to change direction in the middle of the turn. However one canoe could move upstream and the second one downstream.

Players may steal gems from other canoes, but only after moving upstream and only if they finish on the same space as the other player (and only if they have an empty canoes and hence space to load the gem). Turn order is therefore crucial for stealing.
