Central America, ages before the conquest of Cortez. The Maya Culture is in its prime. Huge pyramids like Tikal and Copan are being built. And we are an integral part of it and fix stone upon stone as builder-owners. Unfortunately, we've got some competitors and so there are struggles both at the quarries and at the building-sites. Nevertheless, we unswervingly pursue our aim of placing the largest amount of stones in the gigantic pyramids in order to claim the largest share of the Mayan gold.

This new board game for the whole family is set in Middle America long before Cortez came to conquer the area. The Mayan culture built large pyramids such as those found at Tikal and Copan. The players are the pyramid's master builders, building the immense structures stone by stone. Unfortunately the building areas are mixed and can be built concurrently. This creates conflict in the quarries and the building sites. The player who has contributed the most stones to the building of a pyramid will earn the greatest portion of the gold associated with that pyramid. And the player with the most gold will win the game!

Contents: 4 maps of pyramids, 3 maps of quarries, 140 wooden bricks, 40 cards of workers, 76 gold coins, 11 special features, 1 rule bookle. Box size approximately 37 x 27 x 3cm
