About the game
Get ready for a radical adventure in the ruins of Tihuanaco with Jetpack Lhama! In this fast-paced and fun game, you and your friends take on the roles of llamas equipped with jetpacks, ready to cross an ancient city full of dangers and curses. The gameplay is simple: each turn, a player reveals cards to build a path, trying to score points with appearing symbols. Watch out! Some cards bring curses, and if three appear, your points go down the drain. You can stop at any time to secure your score, but the temptation to go further is strong. The first to reach 50 points triggers the final round, and whoever has the most points at the end wins. And the best part: while one player builds their path, others can bet on when the next curse will appear, earning extra points without even playing a card! It's pure tension, bluffing, and that dose of luck we love. Perfect for livening up any gathering of friends who enjoy a light, strategic game with an unusual theme.
