About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of Teotihuacan: City of Gods and think the game would be even more epic with more players at the table, this expansion is for you! It includes the necessary components for a fifth player to join the construction of that incredible city, bringing the player count up to five. But it doesn't stop there! This gem also introduces 'common' workers, which are a real highlight. Think of them as wildcards: anyone can use and move these guys to give that extra boost to actions. It's a brilliant move for those who like to optimize every play and create more dynamic strategies, especially when the competition for spaces gets intense.

Furthermore, this expansion brings the 'Increased Workforce' module, which was originally intended for the base game but ended up becoming a special Print & Play bonus. This means you can print and assemble it at home, adding another layer of complexity and tactical options to your Teotihuacan. With this addition, the game becomes even more robust, ideal for those who have already mastered the base game and are looking for new ways to score and interact with the board. Get ready for more tough decisions and an even richer, more challenging experience. The language dependency is moderate, so it's worth having a translated copy of the cards or support sheet to not miss any details.
