Reference

Scoring, assistants, hammers, sculptor actions, scrolls, objectives and stained-glass windows at a glance.

Endgame scoring

When the game ends, add these to the points you already have:

  1. Mastery stained-glass windows — each of the three windows is scored on its own. You need your disc on space 7 or higher of that track. The player with the highest disc multiplies the window’s primary value by how often they meet its condition (tied players all use the primary value); everyone else past the brick line uses the secondary value. Max 15 VP per window.
  2. Surplus gold — convert everything you can into gold gold (3 identical resources = 1 gold; coins count as any resource). 1 VP per gold.
  3. Deviation — lose 1 VP per broken gear still showing. Your personal rooster track does not help here.
  4. Assistants — score each assistant sitting on a workshop card (see below).
  5. Common objectives — 8, 6 or 4 VP for your worker on the first, second or third space.

Highest total wins. Ties: most apostles placed on the panel; still tied, the victory is shared.

Assistants

An assistant only scores if it is on one of your workshop cards. You can’t own two of the same type.

Zodiac assistantZodiac3 VP per zodiac dial with your worker on it

Hammers

Your hammer card does two things: it sets how far the hammer disc may move for free when you construct, and it gives a bonus as the last step of every construction. Level I never has a bonus. Number in brackets = free hammer moves at that level.

Sculptor actions

Your level comes from your pink (Precision) track. A forced deviation must be paid before the rest of the action.

Scrolls

Red-seal scrolls are one-shot additional actions. Flip one to use it and keep it in your area — used or not, it still counts for royal scrolls and windows.

Royal scrolls

Blue-seal scrolls sit above the mastery tracks. The first player to reach one scores it immediately — up to 10 VP — and keeps it. No one else can score it.
