P'achakuna

Embark on an exciting journey in the heart of the Andes with P'achakuna, a thrilling board game. Team up with your most loyal llama friend! The game features both black and white llamas. You control one color while your opponent takes the other. White llamas stick to the green valleys, and black llamas conquer the barren mountains. The goal? Visit mountain villages to deliver the desired dye and collect some for yourself along the way. Each player starts with a llama of their color in the center white village, loaded with white dye. The board consists of thick hexagonal tiles in various valley - mountain ratios. Six villages on the perimeter have random demand tiles showing high and low - demand colors. On your turn, rotate tiles (pay two dye to rotate a second one) and move your llamas at least one space. Move a llama into a village to trade dye. High - demand dye rewards you with extra dye, and you can place new colors on your scoring track. Hand in four dye in a village to get a new llama (max three llamas per player). The first to have one dye of each of the seven colors on the scoring track wins. The game comes with a handmade fabric bag from Bolivia and Peru, supporting the local community.

How to play P'achakuna: Start the game with a llama of your color in the center white village, loaded with white dye. On your turn, you can first rotate an unoccupied tile. Pay two dye from your supply to rotate a second tile. Then, move each of your llamas at least one space, but you can move them further if the terrain allows. Move your llama into a village to trade the dye on its back. If the dye you carry is in demand, you'll get 1 - 2 extra dye of that color. If not, just swap it for the village's dye. When you collect a new color, place it on your scoring track if you don't have it already. You can also hand in four dye in a village to get a new llama with a dye from that village on its back. Remember, you can have at most three llamas. The first to have one dye of each of the seven colors on the scoring track wins. Note: Make sure the demand tiles in the villages never show the color of the village. Also, take good care of the handmade fabric bag from Bolivia and Peru. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent tears. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
