Players keep their tablets hidden in their game areas. The player with the most sun starts. After its turn, the game continues clockwise around the table. The player says «Ra» and places the figure Ra in his playing area. This is the beginning of an auction (see below). Players bid for the tiles on the auction track. The winner also sunbathes in the solar space on the set. If there are no stones in the auction track, the winner only gets the sun. After the score, all civilization tiles are returned to the box with the front down. When the last player with the suns uncovered uses his last sun and completes his turn, the era ends. All tiles on track Ra are placed in the box – not in the bag; The sun in the middle of the board remains for the next time.

In addition, the era ends immediately when the Ra-Track is full. Players hold their tablets face down in their display area. A player cannot lose more tablets than he has, i.e. his total score cannot be negative. However, for every priest tile the player receives from the auction track, they can immediately flip a single tile in their exhibition area. This can be a thumbnail from the current auction or a thumbnail from a previous auction. The monuments are not evaluated until after the third period. They remain in players` play areas throughout the game. Players get 1 fame point for each different monument for up to 6 different monuments, 10 points for 7 different monuments and 15 points for 8 different monuments. In addition, a player receives a bonus of 5 points for each group of three identical monuments, 10 points for each group of four and 15 points for each group of five. The player whose action caused the bid by flipping an Ra tile or calling Ra is the Ra player for that bid.

He places the figure Ra in his playground to indicate it. The auction begins with the player to the left of player Ra and continues clockwise around the table and ends with player Ra. It may happen that no player scores the 5 points, because no player has two farmers, or that several players, who are equal for the most, each score the 5 points. Warriors, merchants and scribes are valued independently in the same way. The player always places the tile drawn on the track in the next empty space on that track, starting from the left. The Ankhs are counted only after the third epoch. A player receives 20 points for four (or more) Ankhs in their viewing area, 10 points for three Ankhs and 5 points for two Ankhs. If the bidding track is full and the player decides to call Ra, all players, including player Ra, can pass. In this case, the tiles from the auction track are removed and returned to the box with the front down. The pyramid is not evaluated until after the third epoch.

A player receives 20 points for building a pyramid with degrees of height 4 or higher (requires at least 10 tiles), 10 points for building a pyramid with degrees of height 3 (requires at least 6 stones) and 5 points for building a pyramid with degrees of height 2 (requires at least 3 stones). If the drawn tile is a Ra tile, he places it on the next free space on the Ra track and places the Ra piece in his playing area (the area in front of him on the table). This is the beginning of an auction (see below). After each era, each player receives a fame point for each tide and tile of the Nile in their playing area. However, he only receives these points if he has at least one flood plate. Players without flood tiles do not receive points for their Nile tiles. Example: Anna has 4 pyramids, 3 temples, 2 fortresses and 1 sphinx. After the third period, he received 19 points (4 for four different monuments, 10 for four pyramids and 5 for three temples). Once the auction is over, the player to the left of player Ra continues the game by taking a normal turn. When the score is finished after the third era, the game ends. Example: Anna has 3 astronomy tiles, 2 agricultural tiles and 2 writing tiles.

She gets 5 points because she has three different civilization tiles. For astronomy, agriculture and writing, she would have received the same thing. Extra tiles from the same civilization tile do not earn extra points. The player whose action caused the bid by drawing a Ra tile or calling Ra is the Ra player for that bid. It places Figure Ra in its display area to indicate this. Like monuments, suns are carved only after the third epoch. Each player summarizes the numbers on all his suns (face up and face down). The player with the highest total will receive 5 fame points and the player with the lowest total will lose 5 fame points. The hidden suns cannot be used for the rest of this epoch, but are turned upwards at the beginning of the following epoch. The player then places the sun he offers open upwards on the sun space in the middle of the board. After the score, all the flood plates are returned to the box with the front side down. However, Nile tiles remain in players` play areas for the next era.

If there are gaps in the bidding track as a result of this action, players will fill it with stones that will be fired and placed on the track in subsequent rounds. Note: If you play with less than 5 players, the first 4 (2 players), 2 (3 players) and 1 (4 players) of the Ra track will not be used. If all players have the same number of pharaoh stones, no points will be awarded or lost. Pharaoh stones remain in players` play areas for the next era. Each player adds all the glory points on his tablets. The player with the highest score wins. If two or more players with the highest equal total, the player with the highest number of players is the winner. Keep in mind that if all eight tiles in the auction have tiles, a player is not allowed to draw and place tiles. He can only play God`s tiles (if he has any) or call Ra.

In this case, if he chooses to invoke Ra, he does not have to bid if no other player does. After each era, the four different types of people are evaluated independently. If a player has at least two pawns and no other player has more pawns than him, the player receives 5 glory points. The priest`s power to turn over a tile must be used immediately or not at all; It cannot be saved for later curves. Also carefully remove VP tokens from their frame before the first game.
