Each round has 3 phases: Bid, Collect, and Build. Players work through these 3 phases, in this order. Each phase is explained in greater detail in the rulebook. But, generally, players will: - BID: Starting with the first player and continuing clockwise, each player must place 1 coin of their choice face-down onto one of the bid spots on the playmat. Each bid spot targets 2 cards within the same row or column. - COLLECT: Players flip their coins and determine who won each card. Determine the winner for each card using this order: 1. The only bidder 2. Highest bidder 3.If tied, the player whose coin is closest to the card 4. If still tied, the player whose coin is on the long edge of the card Then each player collects 2 cards total to their hands — taking from the Market and/or the red deck. - BUILD: Players use as many cards as they want from their hands to build Monuments. To add to a Monument, slide an appropriate card under the previous one, revealing the section that continues the Monument. Once a Monument has all its required sections, it is “complete.” Buddhas are considered complete immediately after they are built. When you complete a Monument, immediately score points for completing it The game has 8 rounds. After every 4 rounds, each player will only have 1 coin left. When this happens, players either convert their last coin to points or buy 1 discarded card. WINNING: The player with the most points becomes the most well-respected architect, and therefore wins the game!
