About the game
Recruit craftspeople, construct the iconic mausoleum of the Taj Mahal and maintain the monument’s beautiful gardens. Erect towering domes, intricate minarets and enormous archways to earn the most points and be declared Master Architect! Players choose how to best use shared dice on their individual print and play boards to construct their buildings. One die is used to determine the location and the other is used to determine a value. The value might need to be the same as the other rolls for that location, or the values might need to be in ascending order, or maybe the values all need to be even numbers. Players can individually manipulate dice values with raindrop powerups, but there are a limited number so they must be used wisely. Contained in Casual Game Insider Magazine CGI#36(2021).
