ii. For four players the board is made up the same as the two player board with three additional tiles centered on each side of the short ends of the board. It will like a fat plus symbol when complete.

B. Each player chooses a set of coins and places them on their home row (back set of squares) face-up in the order of their choosing. These are a player's pieces.

C. The center four squares each get a large pyramid.

D. The next ring of 12 squares each gets a medium pyramid.

E. The next ring of 20 squares each gets a small pyramid.

F. Choose two dice, select one for piece number and one for piece type.

Ace	Rook
2	Knight (A knight is the only piece that can jump over pyramids and friendly pieces.)
3	Bishop
4	Queen
5	King

iii. A piece can move as long as it has a clear path, it cannot jump pyramids or other pieces.

iv. A piece can capture an opposing player's piece or any pyramid it lands on as in chess.

2. Captured pyramids are added to a players stash.

v. Once a piece has left the back two rows it cannot re-enter them.

vi. A piece can never enter another players back 2 rows.

B. If a player rolls a piece that has been captured, he loses that turn.
