As soon as this card has been played for the second time, Mount Vesuvius erupts and the second phase of the game begins. Now,all players try to move as many of their pieces out of the city through the gates, before Pompeji is covered by lava tiles.
The player who has saved the most playing pieces at the end of the game wins. The player who owns the game is the dealer. He separates the "A. Then he shuffles the Pompeji cards and puts them face-down into seven piles of four cards each. Then, he shuffles the "Omen"cards back into the pile of remaining Pompeji cards he still has in hand,and puts them next to the game board as one face-down pile.

The Pompeji cards come in the colors grey, turquoise, brown and purple, and with a number the 'house number' between 1 and On the game board, there are buildings of different size, whose colors and numbers correspond to those on the cards.
In addition, there are neutral beige buildings on the board for more information on these, see under "Relatives". Note: The Pompeji game board is divided into squares. Some buildings are one square big e. Therefore, it is important that you put the game pieces exactly on the small, round spaces within the buildings.
No player may put game pieces into buildings without such spaces. Example: Jurgen plays a grey card with the number 1. He puts one of his red pieces onto the grey building with the 'house number'1,then draws one card from the stock.
