📖 About This Game
In Pacal's Rocket, each player build pyramids in the districts of the ancient Maya town Palenque. According to the dice roll of the actual round, the player moves his starship, a pipe. After the movement, a player may throw 1 energy stone of his own color into his starship and under certain restrictions another one into an opponent's starship. When starting the movement, any energy stones in the starship will stay on the board.
A player may build a pyramid if his energy stones are placed in a certain constellation on the board. In this case, he builds the pyramid and afterwards takes back his used energy stones.
For building a pyramid, the player gets victory points if he is the first builder in the district or gains the majority.
