## Description
Prepare for a journey through the Andes as an Inca tribe leader in Tiwanaku! Inspired by creation legends and the veneration of Pachamama, this cooperative game invites you to explore unknown territories in search of new lands to cultivate and prosper in harmony with nature. Each scenario presents a unique challenge with a special arrangement of terrain and crop tiles, requiring strategic thinking to maximize your points and honor the principles of diversity and complementarity. Beware, for disrespecting Mother Earth can bring consequences!

On your turn, you can either explore new areas or perform a divine action. Exploration involves placing terrain tiles, each with its own adjacency and size rules, which determine the types of crops that can be found. Crops come in different values and sizes, and two identical ones can never be adjacent. Divine actions, on the other hand, offer a way to score points and advance in the game, but they also carry risks. At the end of each action, you have the chance to turn in offering cubes for points, but you can only hold one of each color. The game ends when the last terrain tile is placed, triggering a final race: each player can take one last divine action or pass. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. Tiwanaku is a game that blends deduction, planning, and a touch of luck, ideal for those who enjoy thematic challenges and clever mechanics.
