Tawantinsuyu : premiere @ Spiel 2020

We know that many of you are waiting for more information and sneak peeks of Tekhenu by Daniele Tascini and David Turczi (our triple TTT product!), but we have more great euro T-games coming out this year!

(We're fans of T-games. So close to T-rexes, and T-rexes are cool!)

Let us intoduce you to Tawantinsuyu: a deeply strategic, polished game designed for fans of heavy games. Any Teotihuacan fan will feel at home with Tawantinsuyu – both mechanically and thematically.

It has an innovative and modern design. While belonging squarely in the heavy games category, Tawantinsuyu is a game like none of its peers, as it introduces a unique combination of mechanisms not found elsewhere.

Premiere: Spiel 2020!

The great Sapa Inca Pachacuti called on his offspring to worship Inti, the Sun God, and to expand the Inca Empire as far as the llamas roam. With Chinchaysuyu, Antisuyu, Qullasuyu, and Kuntisuyu — four regions of the new empire — now ripe for conquest, the time has come for Pachacuti's true successor to arise.

Gather your people from the villages and use their unique abilities to strategically place them where they can perform the greatest tasks for you. Climb the steps of the Sun Temple, reaping the rewards of your piety. Build structures that both nourish your people and provide you with benefits no other has at their disposal. Muster an army and conquer villages in the four realms of Tawantinsuyu. Prove yourself a worthy successor to Pachacuti and lead the Inca to glory!

The game board features a hill, located within the old Inca capital of Cusco, the sides of which are terraced and divided into five sections. Atop the hill sits the Coricancha, The Golden Temple, the most important temple of the Inca Empire.

Within the Coricancha, each player has a High Priest. On the terraced sections below exist a variety of worker placement locations, interconnected by paths and individually marked by symbols.

Throughout the game, score victory points whenever you construct stairs or sculpt statues. Gain bonus victory points whenever another player makes use of the stairs you have constructed. Score victory points from temple advancements and control of the four regions. Then at the end score bonus victory points from reaching the top of the Temple, from your woven Tapestries, and from various buildings and resources you have accumulated.
