Players sit at opposite sides of the board. The pieces are oriented to point away from a player to show that that player controls them. The remaining pyramids are placed in a common area off the board that is available to both players. To show that neither player owns any of these pyramids initially, they should be in this "global stash" standing upright. There are also two initially empty off-board "prisoner areas", one near each player, to hold the pieces captured by that player. The object of the game is to capture all of an opponent's Monarchs (large blue pieces). There are twelve different pieces in the game, each with a unique movement.
