If the space has neither a jewel or a temple then they doing nothing. Once a player has made a circuit of the board the second phase of the game begins. The player has to scale the pyramid. Again the players roll the dice to move. However, to move up levels of the pyramid, a player must match the jewels on the side of the pyramid either with jewels he or she collected or jewels he or she remembered from the temples. Alternatively, a player can choose not to roll, but can move laterally to another side of the pyramid, as long as he or she can match the jewel on that side.
The twist with the game is that the dice can also produce results that alter the game. The Dice roll may allow you to steal a jewel from another player, or let you rotate a level of the pyramid (and all the levels on top of it) or send the mummies down the sides of the pyramid, blocking the players’ way or even knocking a player back down to the base of the pyramid.
