An unavoidable calamity has fallen upon earth, and there is no place to take shelter from the wrath of gods. It's been ages since the last temple was seen. You are summoned as the most adept sorcerers in the world to try building the last temple while competing for the favor of gods — but this is no easy task. You have to build it block by block, infusing each block with magic and hoping that it can withstand what is yet to come.
In Temples, the layout of the game consists of a variable arrangement of block cards in the form of a temple, with each block having a number. You try to play cards with a total equal to the number of each block to either:
Add blocks with larger numbers to your hand, or
Claim the building blocks of the temple and increase your score.
The game ends once every block of the temple has been claimed. Whoever has the most claimed blocks is the most renowned sorcerer and wins.
