About Shrine: Duel of Light, from BoardGameGeek:

As an avid explorer of lost civilizations, you make an extraordinary discovery - an ancient shrine dedicated to honoring the radiant majesty of light and its divine sources: the Sun and the Moon. Your discovery, however, might be in jeopardy. Someone else has been following the same clues, and they are not stepping down from claiming the exploration as their own. A celestial spirit, guarding the sanctum, invites the two of you to a pristine challenge known as the Duel of Light in which you will test your skills to determine who is truly worthy of the ancestors' heritage. Harness the mystical power of light in Shrine: Duel of Light, a game steeped in the mysteries of an ancient culture that features an LED board vital to gameplay. Both players will be dealt a sacred code, and they will take turns placing a translucent, colored piece - an arcane lens in game terms - on the ancient contraption illuminated by light. They compete for each space individually by creating the correct color, sometimes combining multiple lenses to achieve the desired hue, such as placing red on blue to create purple, while yellow combined with red or blue results in orange or green. Building the largest contiguous area of matching colors, investing your treasure strategically, and knowing when to pass or take on some debt from the spirit will be key to your success in this adventure movie-like gaming experience, further enhanced with the pattern-building module Radiant Shapes, as well as other available expansions. At the end of the game, players earn treasure for the matching colors in their code, and whoever has the most treasure wins. -description from publisher
