Euphrat & Tigris: Die Zikkurat

The June 2009 (3/09) issue of Spielbox magazine included an expansion/variant for Tigris & Euphrates designed by Reiner Knizia. Being shaped like a cross, Die Zikkurat is a special monument that extends across five spaces of the board. The monument can be built if a player has a cross of five civilization tokens of the same color. Discard those five tokens and replace them using the ziggurat markers. Place a ziggurat tower upon the middle tile (Note, the tower is not part of this extension. Please use any other meeple from any other game). The five ziggurat markers cannot be destroyed. All Tigris & Euphrates rules regarding monuments apply to the Zikkurat monument as well. If your King is inside the kingdom of the ziggurat, you will get one victory point in a color of your choice at the end of your turn. Mayfair's 2nd edition printing of the base game Tigris & Euphrates, included this expansion as 5 ziggurat tiles and a tall black cone.
