Description Edit | History

A clever strategic boardgame for two to five players. During the game the players take different roles and travel from city to city in India. Their architects build palaces and houses for the maharadja. Of course, building a palace is expensive. Therefore it is important to earn enough money in the cities. The first player who builds seven palaces is the winner.

Besides the basic game, the rules booklet contains two advanced versions for players who seek even more depth in their game play.
