I think we got confused about the expedition leader.

We thought he was the figure for the temple guard and couldn't understand how one could establish 2 temple guards.

Can someone help us out here?

We played that claiming a temple meant having a majority of workers there and then placing our "leader" as the guard for 5 action points, at which time we lose all existing workers. We couldn't figure out how we could claim 2 temples since there was only one leader (or guard, by our reckoning).

After reading through the forums it sounds like the leader is just a super strong worker (worth 3 points) and "guarding a temple" just means paying the 5AP when you have a majority at a site, placing 1 worker on top of the temple and discarding the remaining works (but not the leader).

Also, it sounds like that temple may never score any points for any other player. Is that correct?

We had a great time playing and are eager to play again but I'd like to get the rules straight! As written, they were rather unclear!
