Rules:

The rules of Euphrates & Tigris are still in place. The following rules are additional rules only used with the Artist Expansion.

Additional Preparation:

• The artists are shuffled together with the other civilization tiles and put into the bag,
• Each player receives the architect of his or her dynasty,
• The victory point counters are placed aside together with the other victory point counters,
• The monuments are placed aside with the other monuments,

Course of the Game:

Positioning an architect and placing an artist are done according to the original rules of Euphrates & Tigris, i. e. neither the architects nor the artists may be placed on river spaces. Also, the distribution of victory point counters is done according to the original rules.

 Artists only have an advantage in building monuments: if a civilization tile is placed and builds a square with only artists and one other color, the monument of these two colors may be build. The number of tiles of each involved color onto that square is irrelevant.

1^st example: the temple is placed resulting into a square of two temples and two artists. The player may turn the four tiles to built the red and yellow monument.

2^nd example: the artist is placed so the player may build the blue and yellow monument onto the upper right square or s/he may build the red and yellow monument onto the lower right square. There is no way to build a monument onto the lower left square because red and green are in that square.

If a square consists of four artists the player is allowed to build any monument containing yellow onto that square.

Building monuments onto squares of more than one color is not allowed for other combinations of colors.

Game End and Winner:

For the determination of the victory there are now 5 spheres.
