About the game

What you do in a play session

This promo brings a brand‑new pyramid tile to Teotihuacan: City of Gods – Pyramid Tile Promo, Red Temple. The tile features four icons that line up with the red temple from the base game, and the coolest part is that two of those icons are already painted. That means if you place it on the right track, you can advance the temple twice in a single move. The goal is to give players more movement options and more chances to hit temple objectives. The expansion doesn’t change the core rules, but adds an extra layer of strategy because players must plan where to put the tile to maximize points. The set includes the pyramid tile itself, a quick‑start card, and a small reference sheet. It fits nicely into the original box and doesn’t require any extra pieces beyond what comes with the base game. It’s perfect for those who already know Teotihuacan and want to extend the experience, but it can also be introduced on a first playthrough to test the tile‑placement mechanic. The game still supports 1–4 players, 90–120 minutes of playtime, and keeps the 3/5 weight on BGG. If you enjoy trail movement, rondels and set collection, you’ll love this addition. Just remember: the expansion only works with the full Teotihuacan edition, so it’s not something you can play solo without the base game. The pyramid tile boasts a vibrant design that evokes Mesoamerican architecture. Each icon corresponds to one of the four functions players can use to move workers or advance temples. When two painted icons are activated, the red temple receives two advancement points, which can swing the game in favor of the player who manages to place the tile on the correct path. Moreover, the expansion deepens the city‑building feel, as each new pyramid adds extra depth to the board. Players who enjoy long‑term planning will find this feature appealing, as the tile can be used both to create worker routes and to block opponents’ progress. The expansion keeps the original aesthetic, with high‑quality components and a clear manual. If you’re looking for a way to add more variety to your table, this promo is a sure bet.
