Maharaja

Players act as traveling priests across India, building statues and shrines for their chosen gods to expand worship and earn prestige. Each round players secretly plan actions and then reveal them to move between cities, recruit assistants with special abilities, and construct religious buildings; the Maharaja periodically relocates and grants rewards based on worship majorities in the cities he visits. The game ends after a set number of years or when a player places their seventh statue, and final scoring awards points for majorities, bonuses from assistants, and other modular endgame conditions. Supports 1–4 players and includes solo rules.
