## Description
Get ready to explore the legendary Golden City in 'The Quest for El Dorado: The Golden Temples'! This time, the adventure takes you inside the mythical city itself, where you and your rival explorers will uncover its secrets. It's a race against time and each other to see who can map and conquer the most precious treasures within the golden ruins. 

The game can be played solo, challenging you to beat your own high scores, or combined with the base game 'The Quest for El Dorado' and its expansions, expanding the map and exploration possibilities for existing fans of the series. The core mechanics remain deck-building and hand management, where each card represents a specific movement or action. You'll use these cards to navigate the modular board, which changes with every playthrough, making each expedition unique. The objective is straightforward: reach the city's core first, but the path is paved with tactical choices. Will you focus on optimizing your deck for swift movements, or will you try to block your opponents? The beauty lies in the simplicity of the rules, yet the depth of the decisions.
