  1. 7.3 out of 10

    Primarily play with 2 players so the 5 player addition doesn't appeal to me...nor would the added game length at that player count. That said, it's a solid (but unnecessary) expansion for me. We haven't exhausted the replayability of the original but the varied player powers (Tribes) do keep things fresh. We also added all the quick actions and Prophecy components which worked well even at 2 players. These definitely add to the forward strategic planning challenge without increasing the overall complexity. We each scored 20 points lower than an average but I expect that to improve with more plays. Also like the upgradable buildings. Great concept! I expect we'll use the expansion most of the time unless teaching a new player.

    Any expansion to a much loved base game is going to have high expectations and Tribes and Prophecies is no exception. I am almost fearful of the prophecy tiles and their position on the prophecy board - ignoring this new addition to the game can damage your strategy, but worrying too much about it can distract you from other important decisions. Excellent!

    Very solid expansion. Turn order is crucial with 5th player. The prophesies add a nice extra as do the quick moves and additional buildings. Definitely an asset to the base game.

Game description from the publisher:

In Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar – Tribes & Prophecies, each player now becomes the leader of a particular tribe, each of which has a special ability that only that player can use. The game includes 13 tribes to provide plenty of variety. (You know that 13 is a spooky and magical number, right?)

With this expansion, the game of Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar is also influenced by three prophecies that are revealed ahead of time and fulfilled when the time is right. These prophecies give players other opportunities to score points, but they can also lose points if they don’t prepare themselves for the prophecy effects. As with the tribes, the expansion includes 13 prophecies. (Woohoo, 13 again!)

This expansion also has new buildings and components that allow up to five players to compete.
