Incan Gold
Since this morning, we have the great pleasure to host Incan Gold on Board Game Arena, a game by Bruno Faidutti and Alan R. Moon published by Eagle-Gryphon Games.
In Incan Gold, you'll play the role of an adventurer exploring old temples forgotten for ages under a luxuriant jungle. And of course, that's not the safest thing to do in life! There will be snakes, giant spiders, falling rocks, flaming corridors, and... oh well, dead people not completely dead and not completely friendly either 😉 But the rewards, oh, the precious rewards... the diamonds, the gold, the Incan relics, and let's not forget... the glory!
Incan Gold is a quick and tense game of the "stop or go" family. On each expedition, players will simultaneously decide either to continue exploring the temple, or to go back to camp to safely store their findings. If you leave the temple, you score all the treasures you have collected (and possibly some extra), but you'll have** to wait for the next expedition** to get more. If you continue, new exploration cards will be drawn. When the card is positive, you'll share the treasure with your fellow explorers still in play. If the card is negative, the first of a kind doesn't count, but the second of the same kind is very bad and scares you away from the temple, dropping everything in your flight!
The rules are quick to learn and everyone decides simultaneously so the pace of the game is really quick. But of course, timing is everything, and you'll need both to press your luck and to know when it's wiser to call it off to get the most of each of the 5 expeditions and bring the most treasures home! So we can bet that this game will manage to rack your brains over how greedy one should really be! 🙂
We'd like to extend our thanks to the publisher Eagle-Gryphon Games for his kind authorisation to create this online version of Incan Gold, and to the developer Morgalad who did an awesome job implementing this game using BGA Studio!
Have fun exploring, and don't forget your adventure gear!
