Abusir

Appr. 2500 B.C. the necropolis of the 5th dynastyis built, but now only the sites are marked. Players are builders which need to transport the necessary stones from the quais on the Nile to the sites and construct pyramids. The contributions of each builder are noted. Boats and stone sledges are placed and the boat is loaded with 5 stones. Then in turn each player has two actions: He can either load and move the stone sledge or move workers a maximum of two paths each or build stones into a pyramid. For discarding the marker one can have an additional action up to threefold. If one passes on a regular action later one gets back the marker for later use. When a pyramid of 21 cubes is finished, players score 6, 4, 2 and 1 points for the most, second most, third most and the last cube in the pyramid. When all visible stones show the same color all participating players score a bonus of 3. At the end unfinished pyramids are scored, and the player with the highest score wins.
