Teotihuacan: Shadow of Xitle

2020 · Expansion for Base-game

Teotihuacan: Shadow of Xitle

Survivors from destroyed cities arrive and bring new skills and innovations to Teotihuacan, accelerating the city's growth and political influence. This expansion adds ten additional technology tiles and ten new starting tiles, increasing strategic options and replay variety by doubling the pool of technologies and offering alternate starting setups. Setup still selects a subset of technologies at random, preserving game-to-game variability. All components integrate with solo play and the original expansion, expanding available strategies without changing core mechanics.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Do I replace the base game's Technology tiles with these, or mix them in?

Add the expansion’s Technology tiles to the base-game tiles in their respective categories; they do not replace them. (p. 4)

What happens if this expansion’s rules contradict the base-game rules?

The Shadow of Xitle rules take precedence over the base-game rules. (p. 3)

When can I trade resources using the new Technology tile?

Each time you move a worker onto or past the Palace (1) Action Board, you may immediately exchange up to 4 resources of one type—wood, stone, or gold—for the same number of a different type. (p. 4)

If I unlock more than one worker, do I get 4 points for each one?

No. The tile grants 4 Victory Points at the end of your turn if you unlocked one or more workers, not 4 points per worker. (p. 5)

What do I get for unlocking all my locked workers?

At the end of your turn, advance once on a temple of your choice if you unlocked all your locked workers, whether by paying cocoa (normally 3) or unlocking them for free instead of taking a normal turn. (p. 6)

With the starting tile that gives two Worship actions, do I still pay cocoa to claim a Discovery tile?

No. Take two separate Worship actions with two workers; for each, you may use the Worship space ability and claim the Discovery tile without paying the 1 cocoa. Both workers begin the game locked. (p. 7)
