Rival Mayan tribes seek glory by building monuments, advancing temples, and offering sacred treasures before the calendar cycle ends.

Gameplay

Place and later retrieve workers from rotating gears to gain resources, build structures, and climb temple tracks. Loved for the unique timing mechanism of worker placement that gains power over time. Wait too long for stronger rewards and you may get blocked, run out of corn, or miss key scoring windows.
