From BoardGameGeek
Meenakshi Temple is a three-dimensional action selection game in which players will be gradually constructing their own towers - breathtaking multi-level gates into the Hindu temple. The players will use a total of 115 custom plastic Deity statues and secure the support of 5 Patron Deities (Meenakshi, Kali, Ganesha, Ganga, and Skanda) while trying to build their gopurams in the most efficient way. On their turn, the player places their meeple on one of the available action slots and resolves the action. The stronger their action is, the later they will take their turn during the next round. The game has five basic actions: constructing statues, placing a slab that would close the current tower's level, receiving a blessing depending on the statues on the current level, upgrading your sheet, and gaining a white statue of Shiva. By the end of the game, all players will have gorgeous constructions consisting of up to 6 levels high in front of them, and whoever scores the most victory points for their tower, secret goal and divine blessings win! -description from publisher
