Maharajá

Maharaja is a strategic area control game. Choose a great Hindu deity from four available, put on the robes of her priest and travel the kingdom to build altars and statues dedicated to her. Secretly plan your strategy and try to defeat your opponents with the help of characters and their abilities.

In each round, the Maharaja, the great king of India, will visit a new city and players will get rewards according to the worship value of his gods in that city. At the beginning of each round, players will secretly plan their actions on their discs, in a phase that will be played simultaneously. At the end of the seventh round, or if a player builds his seventh statue, the game ends. The player who has accumulated the most prestige will be declared the winner of the game.
