Ayar: Children of the Sun

Retell the incredible origin myth of the Inca in this dramatic mid-weight eurogame.In the beginning, Viracocha the creator brought forth Inti, the sun god, and Mama Quilla, the moon god. From the union of these two gods sprang four sons and four daughters: the Ayar. These siblings were tasked with guiding the first clans and teaching them the skills needed to build a civilisation. As they travelled the land in search of fertile ground, the Ayar one by one met their fates until only two remained to found Tawantinsuyu – the Inca Empire.In Ayar: Children of the Sun, players take control of one of the first clans, journeying with the Ayar across the Andes. Follow their teaching and improve your skills at farming, pottery, weaving, and reed bundling. As well as advancing your own clan, you must influence the progress of the Ayar, ensuring the survival of those who reward your most developed skills. Seek the approval of Mama Quilla through long-term strategy, and please Inti with tactical play. But be careful not to earn the ire of one of these jealous gods – at the end of the game, whichever one favours you least will determine your final score.The future of your clan – and the Inca civilisation – is in your hands.Players: 1-4Ages: 14+Playing time: 60-90 minutesContents: 1 main board, 1 side board, 4 player boards, 200+ wooden pieces, 200+ punchboard tokens
