## Description
Step back in time and become a visionary architect during the founding of the legendary city of Teotihuacan! Your mission: design the ultimate urban project, complete with buildings, temples, and the imposing central pyramid. It's a fierce competition to see who will become the most renowned founder!

The game unfolds over three to four rounds, where you'll strategically deploy your action disks. Stack them on the main board to activate bonuses and construct what the city needs. But beware: resource management is key, as space on your personal city board becomes increasingly contested. You'll need to outsmart your rivals using an innovative action system that dynamically alters turn order. Each action involves stacking disks, with the strength of your action determined by the tower's height. The placement of your action disks is crucial, as they dictate your 'reach' and the actions you can perform.

When the eclipse descends, it's time to tally the scores and see who truly excelled. The player with the most harmonious design between their districts and the pyramid claims the glory. Founders of Teotihuacan is a standalone experience, inspired by the universe of Teotihuacan: City of Gods, but focusing on an earlier period when the city was merely an embryo. Get ready to plan, build, and outmaneuver your opponents in this race to found one of Mesoamerica's greatest civilizations!
