The English version of this game is called Maharaja: The Game Of Palace Building in India. From Phalanx Games:
Rajasthan, the northwesterly province of India, but also Delhi and Agra, are world famous for their gorgeous and splendid buildings, temples, mosques, palaces, fortifications and tombs.
The maharaja has called and you, a distinguished Indian prince, are obeying his call! Build magnificent houses and palaces in his name!
Raja is 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.
Raja: Palace Building in India in India contains 1 large gameboard, 5 action discs, 7 character cards, 5 architects, 1 maharaja, 7 city coat of arms pieces, 60 gold coins (game money), 7 action playing pieces, 100 wooden houses, 35 plastic palaces, 5 reference rules sheets and 1 rules booklet.
