Ka'an: Cities in the Sky

A tableau-building and worker placement game that challenges you to exploit opportunities to achieve maximum Harmony (victory points).

As a Great Architect with the power to command golems, your mission is to build the most prosperous and harmonious pyramid structures, elevating your animal civilization toward the sky.

When you deploy your golems, worker placement doesn't serve to block opponents, but to enable new moves. The presence of a worker on a space of the 3D pyramid board allows subsequent workers, yours or your opponents', to leap over it to reach more distant and precious resource stations. Managing your resources, your hand of cards, and the positioning of all workers on the Temple board is essential to maximize your gains.

The cards in your hand must be used as Foundations to create the base of your structures, following a rule that favors pyramid construction upward. Building: spend resources to construct Buildings on these foundations, gaining powerful permanent abilities that increase in strength the higher you build them. Citizens: alternatively, you can settle Citizens in your city, gaining valuable immediate effects.

The game ends when a player completes their last required building, triggering a scoring round where Harmony Points are awarded for buildings in height, settled citizens, and remaining resources. Only the architect who managed their resources best, used the Temple strategically, and built the most harmonious skyscraper will win.
