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.
