Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar – Tribes & Prophecies

About this expansion

Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar – Tribes & Prophecies is an expansion for 2–5 players, with a playing time of about 90 minutes. It adds tribal leaders, prophecies, new buildings, and components to the Tzolk’in experience.

Each player becomes the leader of a particular tribe. Every tribe has a special ability that only its player can use, giving each game a different combination of possibilities. With 13 tribes included, the expansion offers plenty of variety from one game to the next.

The game is also shaped by three prophecies, which are revealed ahead of time and fulfilled when the right moment arrives. These prophecies create additional opportunities to score points, while players who fail to prepare for their effects may lose points.

• 13 tribes, each with a special ability available only to its player
• 13 prophecies that introduce new scoring opportunities and possible penalties
• New buildings and components that allow up to five players to compete

Tribes & Prophecies adds more variety to the Mayan Calendar setting without replacing the central game. Players must consider the strengths of their tribe while watching the prophecies and deciding how to prepare for their effects.

With its mix of asymmetric tribal abilities and future events that can reward preparation—or punish a lack of it—Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar – Tribes & Prophecies gives returning players new factors to weigh in every session.
