Catan

Yucatan is a strategic board game where players take on the role of a Mayan city leader, competing to win the favor of the gods. Capture enemies with your warlords, sacrifice prisoners to the gods, and enlist the help of mythological creatures and heroes to increase your power and dominate your opponents. With four seasons of fierce fighting, each decision counts in building the glorious and eternal sanctuary of the mighty Mayan gods. Become more formidable and glorious with every passing season, but remember that your opponents are doing the same. Sacrifice captured enemies at the end of each season to gain reputation, but beware of the demanding gods who require each sacrifice to be more glorious than the last. Your goal is to capture prisoners and prepare for the ritual sacrifices, ensuring that each move strikes the right balance in your quest for dominance.

Ahau: Rulers of Yucatán is a Euro-style board game, combining elements of worker placement and resource management with innovative dual-engine building - all set in the Classical Period of the Maya. In the game, the players take the roles of leaders of city-states who are all eager to climb the ladder of power and become the most famous ruler of this era. Throughout their journey, they have the chance to invoke the ancient Maya deities, make the production flourish, build their pyramid temple and capital, and expand the borders of their territory. Ahau is a homage to the breathtaking Maya culture, bringing their history closer to the players. The cultural and historical aspects of the game were closely checked by Mayanist David S. Anderson, professor of anthropology and archaeology, an instructor at the Radford University in Virginia, U.S. The Solo Mode was co-designed with professional game designer, David Digby.
