  1. 10 out of 10

    Fire. Game of the year for me. Lots of decisions, great replay ability, and relatively easy macanics.

  2. 7 out of 10

    1 play / 3 players LIKE: Good balance of determining strategic goals and looking for new opportunities. I liked the dice "ascension" mechanism where the dice age and then are reborn, and making the game clock tick down faster. I liked the different rewards they seemed interesting versus just a straight up set-collection. I also liked that players could potentially hamper each other's efforts ever-so-slightly. I liked building the temple, but feel it wasn't used to its utmost capacity. Overall value of this game is very high (price-wise). DISLIKE: There are quite a few moving parts to any one player's turn, remembering to level up the die, remembering to activate a special power. If the dice could actually have a specific place to put on the board, then that iconography could help. Also, the dice would visually block areas, hampering decision making a bit. The game has many decisions, so prone to analysis paralysis, or min-maxing. I also saw a slight turn order advantage in obtaining the player powers early, but minimal at best. OVERALL: I liked this game, I want to play it more, because there's a lot to uncover here. It's not a straightforward game to learn unless players are experience euro-players. This feels similar to Tzolk'in, I think this game has a slight advantage over Tzolk'in where the tracks are not as important and cannot skew the entire game end, but the wheels in Tzolk'in are very fun. The building of the temple didn't have a massive gameplay impact because of all the other options, so I think they could have added more to that mechanism because I found it interesting. Similar games: Tzolk'in

Be the first to review “Teotihuacan: City of Gods”

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.
