About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand your Inca dominion with Tawantinsuyu: The Golden Age! If you already feel like Pachacuti's successor, this expansion brings new challenges and opportunities to prove your worth. The nobility demands attention and sumptuous palaces, and newcomers seek your glory, requiring you to manage resources and workers with even greater precision. Explore the specialties of conquered nations to enhance your strategies, using a new secondary action that can turn the tide in your favor. The expansion also introduces the "Way of the Sun" module, offering new ways to interact with the Sun Temple, and "Pachamama," an improved solo opponent that replaces the previous one, making the solo experience more fluid and challenging. With a new building type, additional workers, and a selection of new passive buildings that can be integrated into any game, replayability is guaranteed. Tawantinsuyu: The Golden Age is not just more content; it's an evolution that deepens the worker placement, area control, and hand management mechanics, while maintaining the complexity and charm of the base game. It's the perfect choice for those looking to extend the experience and test their imperial leadership skills on new and exciting fronts.
