About the game
What you do in a play session
Each player kicks off with a unique role, granting access to distinct resources and production methods. Initially, your options are limited, but as the game progresses, you can expand your production sites, unlocking a wider array of possibilities. The goods are diverse – think fish, alpaca, cacao, silver, and corn – and each boasts its own characteristics and uses. For instance, silver fetches a high price at the market, fish can be exchanged for other goods at the harbor, and alpaca yields wool, which can then be crafted into cloth. It's a true resource-juggling act!
Beyond building a top-notch production engine, you'll need to be clever about fulfilling your orders at the right time, strategically advancing along the road, and, crucially, storing your goods in a way that maximizes your warehouse's value. Sometimes, being a logistics master is more rewarding than being the biggest producer. Altiplano offers multiple paths to victory, ensuring that each game provides a fresh opportunity to test new strategies and have a blast!
