The Adventurers

The Temple of Chac

 

Players want to explore the temple of the Maya God Chac. You lead two adventurers and use their special abilities. At the start of the game the temple is assembled and you randomly assign two adventurers to each player and you yourself decides which one goes exploring first. A round of the game has 6 stages: 1) Adjust load level – this is an indicator for the number of treasures an adventurer is carrying, you can change it by discarding treasures. 2) roll dice and determine number of actions, you have a number of action equal to the number of dice showing the value of the load level or higher.  Possible actions are Movement, Search or Decipher Hieroglyphs. 3) Move walls and rock, walls are moved by turning up cards, the rock is moved by rolling between 1 and 5 dice. 5) Bring in replacement adventurer, if some mishap should have befallen your first one, his treasure cards are discarded. 6) Change the starting player.

When there are no more adventurers still alive in the temple or when the rock has shut off the temple permanently you win if you managed to bring one of your adventurers out and have the most valuable treasures among those who did. If nobody could leave the temple, all players lose together, the adventurers must have been a gang of raw recruits.

The Adventurers is an adventure game pure and simple, with basically known standard mechanism. As is usual in adventurersy you meet lots of unexpected situation, directed by the dice. A special mentioning is due to the harmonious and loving components, all in all you really feel like Indiana Jones when playing this game.
