  The Ark of the Covenant Strategy Tips

Move the Ark of the Covenant

If you place a tile and have no strategic reason to place one of your meeples (wooden figures) to take ownership of a new city, road, temple or field, you can move the Ark up to 5 spaces. Any meeple that it passes is worth one point to that player. By controlling where the Ark stays during the game, you can get points on almost every turn.

Listen to the Prophet

As part of the Ark of the Covenant, players can play a prophet (the biggest wooden figure) in one city during the game. The Prophet will double the score of that city when the city is closed out. Don't forget to use this prophet during the game - some people like to use it early to make sure they have enough time to complete the Prophet's city. Doubling your score can put you out to an early lead that might be difficult for your opponents to overcome.

Play Defense

Many players focus only on their own efforts to complete roads, cities and temples. You can get great advantage over your opponent by placing tiles strategically to reduce their odds of being able to complete their building project. For example, there is a tile that is entirely made up of city, which would require the city to be closed on four sides. By adding this to an opponent's city, you make it much more difficult for that player to complete the city.
