A board game for two to five players with elements of area control and simultaneous action selection. During the game, players take on 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. It is therefore important to earn enough money in the cities. The first player to build seven palaces is the winner. The players choose their actions simultaneously, but reveal and resolve them in turn. Actions include generating money, building houses or palaces, manipulating the Maharaja's movements, and choosing new architects (each architect has a unique power, but the most powerful come later in the turn order).
At the end of each round, the Maharaja marks the city he is in according to the number of buildings, and the players receive money accordingly. He then moves to a new city. In addition to the basic game, the rulebook contains two advanced versions for players who want even more depth in their game.
