The god Arjuna has instructed the architect Maya to build a palace for king Yudishthira. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible through the construction of this palace. Each turn workers can be moved from the city to various locations where they collect resources. Resources can be traded with kings for other resources or ornaments for the palace. After a trade is done, the king involved leaves the palace. At the end of the game, any kings left in the palace award points based on its construction. This is a cooperative game that can be played solo. It is based on chapter 20 of the Mahabharata. —description from the designer
