Description

In the mysterious world of Maatatahay, two rival tribes, Wazu and Balan, are locked in a fierce battle for control of a newly discovered land. As the leader of one of these tribes, you'll need to strategically arrange and assign your warriors to fight for glory. The game takes place on a 5x5 suedette game map, where you'll send your fearless warriors to surround and defeat your opponent's forces. With a playtime of 20 to 45 minutes, Maatatahay is a two-player-only strategy game that requires careful planning and tactical thinking. As you navigate the battlefield, you'll have the opportunity to collect crystal powers to enhance your warrior's strength, visit shrines to seize more strategy opportunities, and allocate your valuable units to safe spots. The game's unique mechanics, such as card drafting, tile placement, and turn order based on stat-based strengths, add a layer of complexity and depth to the gameplay. With variable set-up and randomness from the deck, each game is unique and challenging. The player with the most victory points from their surviving warriors, Spirit Crystals, and relics bonus wins the game.
