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).

I really like how everything in this game works together. It is a fantastic design, and it really feels very open, though I suspect that with more plays it will be more obvious what moves are simply better than others. My only complaint is how easy it is to forget to do something on your turn, since every action triggers 10 other things.

Thoughts after a single play: Teotihuacan takes me back to my early days with complex Euros - back to a time before video reviews, when you had to pull the trigger on a game to figure out whether it would work on your table or not. Teotihuacan went further, leaving me with uncertainty how any of it would feel until I was in the midst of my first session (these days a read through the rules is enough to get a feel for how things would play out). Anyhoo, I went into things with some mild trepidation (mostly related to my partner's likely opinion, given the abstract nature and "points only" allure of things), but we both had a grand ol' time. Excited to play again. For what it's worth, I'm one old schooler who finds this superior to Tzolk'in (own both now).

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.
