About this game

The Sacred Valley in Peru is known as “the breadbasket,” where families of farmers grow a diverse variety of crops on terraces, giant steps carved into the mountainside. Sacred Valley is a tile placement board game about farming in the mountains of Peru during the Inca Empire. Each player takes on the role of a family of expert farmers who are ready to expand their farmlands and agricultural knowledge. Hire specialists, develop technology, and diversify your crops. Will your family become the best farmers in the valley? - The Chinese/English version of the game is known as Urubamba Valley.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
