Cuzco is a renewed edition of the classic game Java, set in the heart of the Inca Empire high in the Andes. Players take on the roles of important Incan dignitaries who seek to strengthen their influence by building terraced fields, settlements, lakes, and magnificent multi‑level temples. The goal is to gain the most prestige in the Cuzco region — through construction, expanding control, and organizing festivals in honor of the Sun God.
The theme is rich with authentic elements of Incan culture: from recognizable terraces and temples to festivals and resource management across mountainous terrain.

Cuzco is a strategic tile‑placement and area control game in which players use action points to perform various actions.
Each turn begins with placing at least one terrain tile. Tiles can be stacked to create terraces, enabling the construction of temples. By placing their Inca meeples on the terrain, players gain control over areas — more influence means more prestige during special events and in final scoring.
Players can build multi‑level temples, with their height determining the point value. Temples are a key source of prestige and often the central battleground for control. By adding lakes and irrigation pools, players create fertile regions that increase the value of surrounding areas.
A festival may be organized by the player who controls the highest temple in the region; festivals grant immediate prestige points, making temple dominance very important.
In each round, players have a set number of action points they can spend on building, moving Inca onto the board, raising a temple, placing a lake, organizing a festival, and more.

The game ends when the final triple‑terrain tile is placed, after which final scoring determines the winner.

Cuzco is a tactically rich and visually stunning strategy game that blends construction, area control, and Incan culture into a unique Andean adventure. 🏔️
