After the conquest of the Inca Empire by the Spanish invaders, only a few native princes managed to flee into the mountains. In Machu Picchu, a hidden city in the Andes, they build up a new peaceful society with their families. But beware: The Spanish are nearby and threaten to discover their final enclave soon! The Incas must use all their priests and virgins of the sun to acquire the help of the sun god Tayta Inti. Otherwise, the Spanish will arrive in this sacred city looking for the prince who can offer the most gold.

“The Princes of Machu Picchu” is a strategy game for 2 – 5 players. As a Prince of the Inca they can either try to collect points for an Inca victory, or they can collect gold to prepare themselves for a Spanish victory. Players try to influence the outcome of the game to match their strategy – but often it remains unclear which side will rule the mountains until the game has almost finished.
