Teotihuacan: City of Gods is a strategic game of worker and resource management, clever planning and adaptability. Each player commands a group of worker dice, which move around locations on a modular board.
With each move a player relocates one worker to a new location, always choosing one of its two areas to perform an action (and upgrade their workforce), or a powerful bonus (but no upgrade). As the mysterious twilight of Teotihuacan approaches, players research technologies, raise the magnificent Pyramid of the Sun, build houses for the inhabitants of the city, collect precious masks, and climb the steps of three great temples to secure bonuses granted by the favor of the gods. Strategize, adapt to a different board layout every time you play, and look to the skies, as each coming eclipse means that your efforts will be evaluated –and your fame tested against the passage of time.

Each aspect is rated on a scale from 0 to 5, allowing you to instantly see how much strategy, interaction, luck, and other factors are involved. This helps you quickly determine if the game aligns with your preferences and playstyle, without needing to go through lengthy descriptions.
The high score for strategy reflects the deep tactical choices you need to make, while the luck factor is low because the game relies almost entirely on your decisions. There is interaction, but it’s more indirect, through blocking actions and positions on the board. The complexity is high due to the many rules and strategic options, and the game length is longer than average, which aligns with the game’s complexity. Thanks to the variable setup and strategies, the game scores very high on replayability, making each session feel different.
