Explore ancient Andean civilizations in Catan Histories: Rise of the Inkas, a board game that simulates the growth and decline of indigenous cultures in the South American Andes. Players face strategic decisions as they build roads, settlements, and acquire development cards while using the robber to disrupt opponents. The game introduces a cyclical era mechanic where players must twice abandon their early tribes, removing roads and covering settlements with vines before starting fresh with a new tribe. Success depends on adapting strategies and timing actions carefully, particularly when opponents' settlements are in decline. The set includes over 110 plastic game pieces and hexagonal tiles featuring artwork inspired by the Peruvian jungle. Designed for 3-4 players aged 12 and up, each game lasts approximately 90 minutes.
