I love Tikal.  Recently introduced the boardgame to a few friends who are relatively new to German boardgames and they loved it.  Well I’m back to playing Tikal online again but this time I won’t have 10 simultaneous games going on at once.

Score points of temple (1,2,3,4,5,6, etc.)  if you have majority in a temple when one of four scoring rounds occurs when three volcanoes are drawn and at end of game.  Majority is determined based on number of workers.  Each player has one head worker who is worth 3 influence points. On your turn you have 10 action points.  Move workers to temples costs 1 action point to deploy at base or at one of your two tents.  Uncovering temple level cost 2 action points. Recovering a treasure cost 3 action points. Capping a temple so no one else can claim it costs 5 action points. Swapping a treasure with another costs 3 action points.  So during your turn there is quite a bit to do and I love the intimidation of this game and the general hatred and bad feelings it leaves amongst the players. It’s pretty competitive and for that reason I do quite enjoy it.
