Worker placement on physical gears — timing is everything.
Vibe's take
innovative, tense, strategic, distinctive, gear-driven
Who it's for
Euro gamers who want something mechanically fresh and visually spectacular.
Not for you if…
You prefer familiar mechanics — the gear system requires a new mental model.
Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar is built around a gorgeous gear mechanism that physically rotates your workers up a track between turns. You decide when to remove workers for rewards — wait longer for better actions. Deeply satisfying and unlike anything else on the table.
