What is Teotihuacan: City of Gods

Travel back in time to the greatest city in Mesoamerica. Witness the glory and the twilight of the powerful pre-Columbian civilization. Strategize, accrue wealth, gain the favour of the gods, and become the builder of the magnificent Pyramid of the Sun.

In Teotihuacan: City of Gods, each player commands a force of worker dice, which grow in strength with every move. On your turn, you move a worker around a modular board, always choosing one of two areas of the location tile you land on: one offering you an action (and a worker upgrade), the other providing you with a powerful bonus (but without an upgrade).

While managing their workforce and resources, players develop new technologies, climb the steps of the three great temples, build houses for the inhabitants of the city, and raise the legendary and breath-taking Pyramid of the Sun in the center of the city.

Each game is played in three eras. As the dawn of the Aztecs comes closer, player efforts (and their ability to feed their workforce) are evaluated a total of three times. The player with the most fame is the winner.

One of my first experiences with moder board gaming after redescovering the hobby back in 2019. As my first medium-heavy Euro, it was both abstract and highly satisfying. I've always loved the main board design and the clever dice mechanisms. To this day, it remains the only Tascini game I've played

Es un juego de colocación de trabajadores, en el que el efecto de los trabajadores se multiplica según el número y el nivel de los mismos que caen en la misma acción. Es una vuelta de tuerca a la mecánica tradicional. Además, usar una acción usada previamente por otros jugadores está penalizada por el pago de cacao. Hay tecnologías, y muchas y variadas de sumar puntos y hacer combos. Es un juego sencillo de jugar, pero largo de explicar y creo que difícil de dominar bien. Será bien recibido por jugones. Abstenerse de intentarlo con no iniciados. Les va a parecer un lío.

Teotihuacán is an italo-euro-game whose amazing mechanics will make you rack your brains. In this game there are eight action spaces, which can be changed, whenever played, increasing replayability. These actions are differently designed around the great pyramid space, another mechanic implemented by some of these action spaces. There spaces are activates as a rondel while player decides to move from one to three spaces clockwise around the board. The brilliance of this outstanding game is the variability of the different action spaces. For instance, three of the eight spaces are simply for co
