Das Gold der Maya (1997)

About this game

The object is to collect a full disc of pie shaped wedges of an Aztec Calendar. Each round you bid on a differently-shaped wedge, and you can see the next 2 pieces up for auction. Add a couple of twists in that certain pieces can only be placed next to certain other types of pieces, and the pieces are two sided (you may use either side), and you have a bidding game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
