On top of bad indentation, it looks like there are more than five members in the band. It's Five Man Band, not Seven Man Band.

The player takes a role of a pharaoh who has to collect 12 glyphs. Each stage has got randomly generated 10x10 grid layout covered in fog. Player must use the limited amount of turns (usually 85) to discover, connect and search the cities and invest in mines for technology while discovering where the glyph is located. At the end of those turns, barbarians will attack the cities. If at least one of the cities survives the barbarian attack and glyph is located, the player will win the stage and moves on. Defeat happens when player loses all the cities and don't have enough scarab power to defeat the remaining barbarians.
The game requires the player to spend turns as efficiently as possible. In higher difficulties, they also have to determine if they can win or the current stage and adjust their tactics accordingly.

Though a very simple and as theplayer same time deep game, pretty much everything in it amounts to spend turns a LuckBasedMission to the point of FakeDifficulty. Cities, mines, treasures and barbariabs are all randomly placed, and sometimes you flat won't be able to do enough to hold off the barbarians before your last turn is up. As repetitive as efficiently frustrating as possible. In higher difficulties, they also have to determine if they it can win or the current stage get, it is still a fun and adjust their tactics accordingly.
