Description
In Zapotec, you'll delve into the world of a pre-Columbian civilization, building temples, cornfields, and villages in the valleys surrounding the capital. Your goal is to generate resources to construct pyramids, make sacrifices to the gods, and perform rituals. With simultaneous action selection, you'll pick a card from your hand to determine your turn order and resources, adding a layer of strategy to the game. As you play, you'll spend resources to build new houses, gain special abilities, and make sacrifices, all while navigating the resource grid and building spaces on the map. With a playtime of 60 to 75 minutes, Zapotec offers a engaging experience for 1 to 4 players, requiring normal complexity and a mix of hand management, card drafting, and area majority mechanics. Will you emerge victorious, with the most victory points after five rounds, and claim your place as a master builder of the Zapotec civilization?
