## Description
In Ayar: Children of the Sun you embark on an epic journey to the heart of Inca civilization, following the legendary Ayar siblings as they trek the Andes in search of fertile land and precious resources. Each player takes command of one of the earliest clans, honing essential skills such as farming, pottery, weaving, and reed bundling—all while trying to sway the fate of the Ayar and ensure the survival of their own people. The game blends classic Euro‑game mechanics—tile placement, worker placement, track movement—with a dose of long‑term strategy: gaining Mama Quilla’s approval and Inti’s favor are vital, and a deity’s wrath can cost dearly at the end. Scoring is driven by a mix of highest‑lowest, area control, and set‑collection, ensuring every round is packed with crucial choices. If you love games that mix history, tactical planning, and a touch of luck, Ayar transports you to the vibrant, complex atmosphere of the Inca Empire, with detailed artwork, high‑quality components, and a pace that keeps all players engaged from start to finish. Get ready to test your leadership, diplomacy, and strategy in a setting that celebrates Inca cultural richness and legacy.
