    What a great game here! easy rules but its very difficult plays really well cause the tons of strategies and paths to win here. Great game.

  2. 7.4 out of 10

    A medium weight euro that's not as complicated as the cluttered and ornate board makes it seem. Eight action spaces on a circular track. You move several workers around this rondel. The novel "hooks" are coordinating workers (the more you land on a single space, the more powerful the action) and evolving workers over time (the more evolved, the more powerful the action). In standard point salad style, there are a variety of ways to get points but specialising is a good idea. Other than that, it's a hodge podge of familiar bits: technologies that grant permanent powers, resource gathering, set collection, several sub-tracks that grant benefits and points. This has been hyped as the evolution of Tzolkin. I'd say it's a step to the side, perhaps slightly backward. The resemblances are faint. The gears of Tzolkin felt surprisingly fresh and innovative, Teotihuacan feels like a solid but not very distinctive puzzle-y euro. One nice feature is that the action spaces can be randomised, which should change the viability of different strategies from game to game.

    Lots of intriguing decisions. I like the amount of variability on offer. Theme is... hahah, just kidding. The game sort of looks like a spreadsheet (minus the beautiful mah jong tiles in the middle). Overall, I like it. It's a pretty heavy euro game, but feels definitely like a sequel to Tzolkin (except they replaced worker placement with a Rondel).

Travel back in time to the greatest city in Mesoamerica. Witness the glory and the twilight of the powerful pre-Columbian civilization. Strategize, accrue wealth, gain the favour of the gods, and become the builder of the magnificent Pyramid of the Sun.

In Teotihuacan: City of Gods, each player commands a force of worker dice, which grow in strength with every move. On your turn, you move a worker around a modular board, always choosing one of two areas of the location tile you land on: one offering you an action (and a worker upgrade), the other providing you with a powerful bonus (but without an upgrade).

While managing their workforce and resources, players develop new technologies, climb the steps of the three great temples, build houses for the inhabitants of the city, and raise the legendary and breath-taking Pyramid of the Sun in the centre of the city.

Each game is played in three eras. As the dawn of the Aztecs comes closer, player efforts (and their ability to feed their workforce) are evaluated a total of three times. The player with the most fame is the winner.
