Nakum

Players lead rival noble families in a Mayan city during the sacred month of Ajaw, competing for the gods’ favor. Place and manage workers to hunt, harvest and explore for resources, use the market to trade goods for benefits, and allocate resources to active pyramid offerings. Some offerings demand a human sacrifice, which must be paid by sacrificing workers. Score comes from completed offerings, market cards, explored tiles and stored resources; the player with the most influence points wins.
