Altiplano
Bag-building set in the Andean highlands where players convert and manage goods to score points. Each player begins with a unique role tile that grants access to specific resources and actions, then expands production by acquiring new sites that generate or transform items like fish, alpaca, cacao, silver and corn. Goods serve multiple purposes: they can be sold, traded, processed into higher-value products, or stored in warehouses for endgame scoring. Players time orders, develop the road network, and manage warehouse capacity as they balance production growth against logistical constraints to maximize final points.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do we redraw role tiles every round or just once at the start?
Role tiles are drawn and assigned at the start (each player draws one); they remain for the game unless you choose to redraft by laying them face up and selecting them (recommended once players are familiar). (page 5)
When I use tiles to perform an action, do those tiles go back into my bag immediately?
No — tiles you use or gain during actions go into your personal container; they are returned to your cloth bag only when you would need to draw and your bag is empty. (page 7)
Can I store food or corn in my warehouse?
Food tiles can never be placed in the warehouse, but corn is treated as a good with special rules: it must be stored as soon as obtained (unless you have an extension that allows interim storage) and may substitute for the required good in a row. (page 9)
Is movement an action, and do I have to be on a location to perform its action?
Movement is not an action by itself, but your figure must be on a location to carry out that location's action; you may move before and/or after an action using your free cart or by spending food for steps according to the movement rules. (page 7)
Do coins go into my bag or planning spaces, and can I use coins I earn this round to pay for things?
Coins are never placed in the cloth bag or on planning spaces (except where market-extension coin-placement is required in planning); coins stay next to your board and you may even use coins acquired during the current round for purchases. (pages 7, 9)
How many carts can I buy in one round and how many can I own total?
You may buy at most one cart per round and you may own a maximum of four carts in total. (page 9)
