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).

8/19 N25-GREAT worker placement game. Dice are used, but not in the conventional way. We enjoy the Aztec/Incan theme although it's pasted on. 11/19 N24-+Late Preclassic Period

Like it's previous sibling, this one is a Euro with nicely connecting mechanics - at times a bit overwrought (the path of the dead and related building space is odd by default), loads of replayability (you can replace the locations printed with essentially a wide variety of board layouts), and various paths of scoring. Building the temple seems essential for large scores and most everything drives you toward it. But it is a bit impenetrable and opaque - you can see the mechanics, you can see various connecting paths, but it isn't clear how to optimize. This is attractive to many, but not to all. Still, a good tasty Euro experience (without the spinning wheels!) that invites investigation. I like it.

October 2022 - 8 - 5 plays (all at 2 player) + Great medium/heavy rondel game. + Dice represent workers where they advance in strength works very well. + Number of different strategies to pursue. + Pyramid looks awesome. + Lots of good decisions throughout the game, primarily around best timing of actions and when to upgrade/ascend workers. = All plays have been at 2 player which has dummy workers to increase cost of actions, would be better with human players. - Bit fiddly remembering all the effects that occur after turns or when workers ascend.
