Tikal is the most important and largest of all Mayan sites. It is located in the midst of an impenetrable jungle in northern Guatemala. The Mayans live in Tikal from 600 BC to 900 AD but little is known of the civilization that thrived there for 1500 years. Each player is the director of an expedition intent on exploring Tikal in search of the secret paths that lead to the temples and precious treasures that have remained hidden for over 1000 years. A player receives points during four scoring rounds for eac h recovered treasure and for each temple that he controls. But, both temples and treasures can change hands. The expedition that earns the most points exploring Tikal wins the game."Germany’s Game of the Year is a brilliant production that fits its theme extraordinarily well." - Games Magazine.
