Players compete to build
temples on the five building
sites displayed on the board.
The players must build the
temples level by level, using
cards played on their side of
the board adjacent to the
building sites. The cards
represent the different tribes
that lived in the area at the
time of Babel. Each tribe has
special powers, which the
players may use during their
turns if they have control of
the tribe. The player who
scores the most building points
is the winner!
