One can only make things look naturalater much preparation. Puccio Cortese

Place the game board in the center o the ta-ble, and arrange the ollowing elements on it.

1) Place the blr on its start space.2) Place the tw wall in their initial

positions.3) Place the 5 brig plan on their support

across the stone overhangs.

4)Place the 2 sn til on the two cornerspaces in the lava room to cover the sun-light spots visible in these two locations.

5) Players collectively place the 14 LavaRm Glyp til, Glyph ace up, ran-domly on the 14 remaining spaces in thelava room.

6) Place the larg maing car over the tiles,thus covering the whole lava room until anAdventurer discovers it (see below).

7)Shufe the 14 Glyp Cl til (brwn Mayannmbr), Glyp ac wn. Randomly pick4 and place them next to the 4 zones o the

walls room (without looking at the Glyph ace). Then place the tn tr Glyp Cl til,Glyph ace down, next to the lava room.

8) Shufe each o the 6 Trar c (10cards each).

9) Place the 4 Wall Rm trar cnext to their respective zones (1, 2, 3 and 4);

10)Place the Lava Rm trar cnext

to the lava room (in ront o the red arrow).

14) Place the val 6 Alcv trar car, Treasure ace up, next to the alcovespace that is lined up with the waterall.

Once all o these game elements are in place,shufe the 12 Adventurer cards and randomlydeal 2 to each player. The remaining cardsare put aside.

Each player chooses which o his twoAdventurers will be the rst to enter thetemple, takes the corresponding gure, andplaces it on the Temple Entrance space.

Each player keeps his other Adventurer cardand places it, with the Gaming Aid ace up,under the Adventurer card in play (see page 6).

The player takes the corresponding gure.Should the rst Adventurer meet an untimelyend, the second would come into play and

replace him, using the rst Adventurers cardas the Gaming Aid.

The most experienced player (meaning theoldest) takes the 5 dice and becomes theDicekeeper symbolically holding on tothe dice (even though other players may rollthem during the turn) to show that he or shegoes rst this turn. The exploration o thetemple can nally begin!

You wont fnd true history by sitting in alibrary all day.

Proessor Trevor Grith

A game turn is composed o 6 successive phases:

1. Adjust Load Level2. Roll dice and count number o actions3. Perorm actions (each player in turn)4. Move the walls and the boulder5. Bring in possible replacements6. Pass the dice to the let (new rst player)

1.adjust load levelThe more treasure an Adventurer is carrying,the harder it will be to perorm actions. YourLoad Level (LL) represents this burden.

Each player determines his LL by counting thenumber o Treasure cards he has (see below).

Beore doing this, each player, starting withthe Dicekeeper and proceeding clockwise,may choose to get rid o any number o his

Treasure cards, discarding them into a com-mon discard pile. This ability allows everyoneto manage his or her own Load Level.

Imprtant: The rst three treasure cards carried by an Adventurer do not burden him; his LL

remains at 2, as i he was not carrying anything.

Each player then positions his Adventurercard over the Gaming Aid on the back o hissecond Adventurer card to show his currentLoad Level (see Positions 1 and 2).

2. Roll dice and

count numberof actionsEach turn, the number o actions a player canperorm depends on his current Load Level.So, in order to determine everyones num-ber o actions, the Dicekeeper rolls the 5 diceand each player compares his Load Level tothe results on the dice.

The number o actions each player is allowed or

the turn is equal to the number o dice whoseresult is qal t r igr tan his Load Level.

Each player then slides his Adventurer cardupwards over the Gaming Aid on the back ohis second Adventurer card to count the num-ber o actions he is allowed (see illustration).

LoAd AdjusTMeNT

eampl: Ater a ew gameturns, Lea Rice has 5 Treasurecards (LL=3), Martin Fletcher

has 7 (LL=4) and Arely Tamayonly 3 (LL=2). So the Adventurercards are in the ollowing

position.

3. Perform Actions(each player

in turn)

The Dicekeeper will now perorm all his

actions, then the player to his let, and so onuntil all the players have perormed actions.Actions can usually be perormed in anyorder and as many times per turn as the play-ers want, within the limits o the Adventurersaction points. Players should track theirActions by sliding down their top Adventurercard as the Actions are used, showing at anytime how many are let. It is not required touse all your Action Points in each turn but itis almost always a good idea!

Mv: It is always possible to spendone action to move rom one space to anadjacent space by passing over a dotted line.Solid lines may not be crossed. Also, diag-onal movements are not allowed unless aspecial ability says otherwise. Moving may

be controlled by special rules in some areaso the board. Players may occupy and movethrough spaces which already contain otherAdventurers.

The other actions depend on where theAdventurer is in the temple. Here is a listo each part o the temple with the actionsthat can be perormed in them and how theassociated trap works.

NuMBeR oF ACTIoNs

eampl:The results on the 5 dice are,,, and. Using the previous example, Lea Rice(LL=3) is allowed 3 actions (thanks to the , and), Martin Fletcher (LL=4) is only allowed 2(thanks to the and) and Arely Tamay (LL=2) is allowed 4 (thanks to the,, and). Sothe Adventurer cards are in the ollowing position.

It should be noted that in this example a player with an LL o 5 would be unable to do anything at

all this turn (no action because the load is too heavy).


8/168

walls roomEveryone is orced to go through here, asit is the rst room into which the TempleEntrance space opens. As the huge en-trance doors close behind the Adventurers,they now need to rush through the mazeto get out. The Walls room is the Templesmain room. It is ull o archaeological trea-sures: jewelry, statues, ceremonial masks,etc. It is divided into our zones (4 rows ospaces, each with a dierent moti carvedinto the foor) that can be searched either ortreasures or or symbols carved into the rock(glyphs). The latter are hints to which tiles aretrapped in the lava room.

spcial mvmnt rl: Players may onlymove to spaces in the Walls room that arebetween the two walls you may not explorebehind the walls as they close in.

There are two types o actions possible in thisroom, in addition to Move. Each one countsas one action. They can be done in any orderand as many times as the player wants.

sarc: The player takes the top card romthe deck corresponding to the zone wherehis gure stands (the back o the card shouldshow the same moti as the one carved onthe foor o the zone). The player looks at itsarchaeological value and keeps it withoutshowing it to the other players. A player maysearch the same zone more than once.

dcipr a glyp: The player looks atthe Glyph ace o the Glyph Clue tile corre-sponding to the zone his gure is on, withoutshowing it to the others, or approximately 5seconds, then replaces it Glyph ace down.

This glyph designates a tile that is trapped inthe lava room (see below).

eampl: Lea Rice, who is already on the ourth

zone o the Walls room, can perorm 3 actions

this turn. She decides to search (1 action) so she

gets 1 Treasure card rom the deck corresponding

to the moti carved on the foor o her zone. She

then chooses to decipher a glyph (1 action) so she

takes the Glyph Clue tile next to her zone. She

fips it over secretly to have a look at the Glyph

side or approximately 5 seconds beore putting

it back in place. She will need to remember the

glyph in the lava room. She has only one action

let and she decides to get out o the walls room

by moving into the corridor space adjacent to her

zone.

Unortunately or the Adventurers, the timethey can spend in the walls room is limited.In act, as soon as they enter the temple, thelet and right walls slowly and inexorablystart moving in, pushed by an ingenious andpowerul mechanism!

Adventurers who get caught between thetwo walls when they brutally make contactare eliminated! The movement o the wallsis resolved during phase 4 o the game turn

(see p 14).

boulder corridor

This is the part where we run. Martin Fletcher

This long corridor ollows a tube-shapeddownward slope riddled with alcoves. It isused to get rom one room to the next, to dive

into the river, or to reach the wooden bridge. Itis also the track ollowed by a gigantic boulderthat the Adventurers set in motion when theyenter the temple. The boulder will progres-sively pick up speed and grind anything lyingin its way. At the end o its mad race it willblock the only way out o the temple!

An Adventurer on the nal space o the boul-der corridor, next to the exit, may leave the

Temple by taking a normal move. Once the

Adventurer has let, he cannot go back in orsend in a replacement; his player sits back andwatches the others try to outdo his treasurecollection.

There is one type o action possible in thisroom, in addition to moving.

opn an alcv: There are ve alcovesalong the boulder corridor; our in a row withone value 4 treasure card each, and one ur-

ther with a value 6 treasure. In order to pickthe lock o the grillwork gate protecting thetreasure, the Adventurer needs to be in thespace horizontally adjacent to the alcove. Theplayer then rolls the 5 dice and needs to end

PICTuRe 3: WALLs RooM

The dotted lines mark out the 4 zones in the Walls room on to which the gures canmove. The white marks represent the progress o the two mobile walls.

up with a specic set o dice, depending onthe treasures value.For a value 4 Treasure, the player needs tohave at least one each o,, and amongthe dice.

For the value 6 Treasure, the player needs tohave one each o, , , and amongthe dice.

I the dice roll does not succeed, and a playerhas one or more actions let this turn, he orshe may choose to spend an action to rerollany o the dice. Ater this reroll, the playermay continue to spend actions and roll, aslong as he or she has not run out o actions.

I the required combination is obtained, theplayer then takes the Treasure card rom thealcove without spending any action. Diceresults do not carry over rom turn to turn orrom player to player.

eampl: Lea Rice has made some good progressand is now in ront o an alcove where she may

attempt to get hold o the value 4 treasure inside.

She has 3 actions or the turn so she decides

to pick the lock o the grillwork protecting this

treasure. To do so, she rolls the 5 dice (1 action)

and obtains,,, and. She is missinga so she decides to spend 1 action to reroll the

two and the, coming up with , and.Her lock picking attempt is a success as she nowhas the , and required to open the gateand grab the highly coveted value 4 treasure. She

has one action let and decides to move to the

next space, where she will be able to pick another

lock on her next turn, since it is also an alcove.

lava roomIs it hot in here, or is it just me?

Nicole Lagger

The room next to the walls room is almostentirely covered in molten lava. Only aew slabs stick out o the lava, allowing theAdventurer to hop rom one to the next. Oneach slab there is a glyph carved indicating iit is trapped or not. But only those who willhave checked the glyphs in the walls room

will know their true meaning! In addition,there is a treasure on each o the slabs.

The rst Adventurer to approach theroom (by moving to a space adja-cent to it) discovers the congu-ration o the glyphs by simplyremoving the masking cardrom the gameboard.

Once the conguration has been revealed, eachAdventurer is ree to ollow the path he wishesor else ollow the boulder corridor, a surely saer

way through except or that boulder

There are two types o actions possible in thisroom, in addition to a special rule or moving.

spcial mvmnt rl: Adventurers inthe lava room can only move onto a space

with a slab on it. Beore moving, the desti-nation tile is fipped over to check i it corre-sponds or not to a trapped slab. I the yellowMayan Number revealed corresponds to oneo the our brown Mayan Numbers placednext to the walls room, the slabs collapsesunder the Adventurer, who ends up in themolten lava. Tragically, he is eliminated! I it

was not trapped, the tile stays turned over andthe gure o the Adventurer is placed on it.

sarc: I a slab is not trapped, its yellowMayan Number side means there is a treasureto be ound on it. A player on a yellow MayanNumber may thereore pick its treasure up(1 action). He draws the rst card rom theLava Room treasures deck and proceeds toswap the yellow Mayan Number tile or itsbrown Mayan Number equivalent (takenrom the 10 sae Glyph Clue tiles placednext to the game board) to signiy that there

is nothing let here.

PICTuRe 6: LAVA RooM WITh ALL The GLYPhs


11/16

11

Bring in t cn Avntrr: This spe-cial action, explained below in the appropriategame phase, does not require an Adventurerin the room to play.

Imprtant: There are only 14 slabs with glyphs

and treasure in the lava room (the 2 Sun tiles

contain no treasure and never collapse into the

lava) but 4 o them are trapped so there are only

10 treasures in the end.

eampl:Bill Baker has decided to cross the lava

room but has only 2 actions this turn. He chooses

to jump onto an adjacent slab (1 action). He

checks i it collapses under him or not. It is solid;

the yellow Mayan Number does not correspond

to any o the 4 brown Mayan Numbers that can

be seen next to the Walls room. Bill then decides to

pick up the Treasure (1 action) and draws the rst

card rom the corresponding Treasure deck (lava

back). He swaps the yellow Mayan Number tile

with the corresponding brown Mayan Number

one to show that the treasure has been taken. He

has no more actions let to perorm so now play

passes to the let.

PICTuRe 7: CRossING The LAVA RooM

Lea Rice is the rst to cross, closely ollowed by only three other survivors -- it seemsMartin Fletcher and Trevor Grith got stuck between the walls on the right!

UndergroundRiverandWaterfall

Is like a hot tub compared to waters oSiberia.

Tatiana Bregovic

There are two special actions possible in thisarea, and special rules or movement.

spcial mvmnt rl: A player may en-ter the river rom a number o dierent spaces(through the dotted lines on the game board)but can only exit on the very last river spacebeore the waterall. Moreover, because othe strong current o the river, a player who

jumps in is orced to move along the fow in-dicated by arrows in each river space, unlesshe is exiting the river. No upstream move-ment is allowed.

eit t rivr: Exiting is the only action pos-sible in the river space located just beore the

waterall (it may not be searched) and it mustbe taken i the Adventurer has any remain-ing actions. To resolve this special action,the player rolls a number o dice equal to hisAdventurers current Load Level (so takinginto account the Treasure cards collectedduring this turn). I at least one o the dicerolls a , the adventurer will ail to exit andbe dragged into the waterall, but he mayprevent this by discarding treasures. At thispoint, a player can discard 3 Treasure cardsor every he has rolled, in order to rerollthose dice and avoid the drop. How-ever there is only one possible reroll per obtained and i it is another , the Adven-turer ails! O course, i the player does nothave enough Treasure cards to sacrice, healso ails to save himsel. An Adventurer whoails in exiting the river is dragged into the

waterall and eliminated!

eampl: Martin Fletcher tries to get out o theriver carrying 9 Treasure cards, meaning LL o 4.

Thereore he rolls 4 dice and unortunately rolls twice. He is about to be dragged down the

waterall! He quickly lets go o 6 Treasure cards

(3 or each obtained) in order to reroll these

ateul results. But once again he rolls a on one

o the two dice rerolled and takes the great dip!

I the Adventurer succeeds, he manages to pullhimsel rom the underground river sae andsound. His gure is moved onto the corridorspace adjacent to the underground rivers lastspace (meaning the one beore the waterall). Hemay then take any remaining actions to movenormally up or down the boulder corridor. sarc:To search the river bed, simply drawthe rst card rom the River treasures deck(1 action). The current prevents the Adventurersrom searching the same space twice. Theplayer must move at least once in between twosearches. Players should keep track o thisby laying their Adventurer gure horizontallyon the space ater searching; the gure standsupright again ater moving to a new river space.

e: During his previous turn, Puccio

Cortese chose to dive into the r iver. This turn he is

allowed 3 actions. He decides to search the river

bed (1 action) and draws the rst card rom the

River treasure deck, laying his gure horizontally.

He then stands up, moves to the next space

downriver (1 action) and perorms another search

(1 action), laying down again. He then takes a

new card rom the River treasure deck (river

back). His turn ends as he has perormed all 3

actions. However his rst action o the next turn

will need to be a movement as he has already

searched the space he is in.

PICTuRe 8: uNdeRGRouNd RIVeR

the wooden bridge

It could only be 1100 years old? Lets go! Vincent Gerondeau

The wooden bridge has special rules ormovement and one special action.

A wooden bridge composed o 5 rottenplanks reaches over the gul into which the

waterall goes crashing down. It oers a wel-come shortcut beore being squashed bythe boulder. However it is not all that sae,so while crossing (one movement action, asthe bridge is considered a space), the playermust check i it is solid.

He rolls a number o dice equal to the num-ber o planks remaining when he steps ontothe bridge.

Fr ac i tat rll lwr tan i La

Lvl, one o the planks snaps and alls intothe precipice. The broken planks are removedrom the game board. I at least one o theplanks remains, the Adventurer can carry onmoving. I all the planks snap, he alls intothe bottomless abyss (sharing the ate othe unortunate people sacriced to Chac inancient times) and is eliminated!

eampl :Bill Baker chooses to cross the stillundamaged bridge with a LL o 4. He rolls 5 dice

since there are still 5 planks. He rolls ,,,

and. He snaps 3 planks as he crosses (because

o the , and ). However the 2 remaining

planks mean he can carry on moving.

s : A particularly evil

Adventurer who is on the bridge space may, as

an action, sabotage the bridge or those who

would ollow him, by hopping up and down

on it. Each hop (1 action) creates a new test

or the bridge, rolling dice and removing planks

as i the Adventurer had just moved onto it. O

course, the hopping may also destroy the bridge

and eliminate the scoundrel himsel!

several peopleon the bridge!

I several Adventurers nd themselves onthe bridge at the same time, the soliditytest should be rolled against the total LoadLevel o all the Adventurers on it. Thebridge is hardly going to resist such a load,

but who would dare all cross at once?

PICTuRe 10: The exIT Is NeAR!

Despite being a gited swimmer, Puccio Cortese has been washed away. Bill Baker

had a narrow escape on the bridge, leaving just two planks intact. With only Lea

Rice and Bill Baker let, who will claim the victory? Will they manage to get out? And

with how much treasure? A nail-biting nale!

4. move the wallsand the boulder

Why cant these traps ever NOT workater 1000 years?

Montana Bill Baker

In this game phase, the current Dicekeep-er is in charge o moving the walls and theboulder.

T Wall: The Dicekeeper simply fipsover the three rst cards rom the Walls deckand applies their eects immediately: noth-ing happens, move the let wall (orange ar-row) one space towards the center othe room, move the right wall one spacetowards the center o the room (grey arrow)or move both walls one space each towardsthe center o the room (orange and grey ar-rows). The let wall is the one nearest the lavaroom. I there are any Adventurers let in theroom when the walls meet, they are goners!

eampl: I the 3 Walls cards revealed are the

ollowing, the let wall moves twice and the right

one moves once.

T Blr:The Dicekeeper rolls a numbero dice that depends on the game turn, as theboulder picks up speed. At the end o the rstturn, he will roll one die. I it is the second turn,he will roll two. And so on until the th turn

when the boulder reaches its cruising speed(5 dice) until the end o the game. No matter thenumber o dice rolled, the boulder advancesone space or each result equal or higher than, making its advance vary rom 0 spacesto the number o dice rolled. I the boulderenters a space occupied by an Adventurer, heis crushed and eliminated rom the game!

eampl: It is already the th turn o the game.

The rst player rolls 5 dice to make the boulder

advance. The results on the dice are,,,

and so the boulder advances 3 spaces down

the corridor because o the, and.

As the boulder rolls down the corridor, it canopen up one o the two openings that allowreplacement Adventurers to enter (see nextsection). They are located on the two cornerspaces (slabs with the Sun moti) o the lava

room. These entrances open when the boulderis on the corridor corner spaces diagonally adjacent to the two lava-less Sun spaces (seepicture 11). Simply remove rom the gameboard the Sun tiles aected by the boul-

ders passage in order to reveal the sun beamsprinted on the game board), signaling that theentrance is now open.

I the boulder reaches the nal space o theboulder corridor (the exit), it seals the exit,trapping orever all Adventurers who are stillinside the Temple, and ending the game.

5. bring in possiblereplacements

Where have you guys been? Len Tso Yau

I a players rst Adventurer is eliminated, theAdventurers gure is removed rom the gameand his Treasure cards are discarded. Neverthe-less the player can send in his or her secondAdventurer, the replacement, during thisgame phase. In order to do so, at least one o theSun spaces in the lava room has to have beenopened by the passage o the boulder down

the corridor running along the lava room.

PICTuRe 11: TWo oPeNINGs IN The CeILING

During this game phase, a player can place hisor her second Adventurer on space A i onlyA is open, or on space A or B when both areopen. The player then uses the back o the rstAdventurer card as the Gaming Aid behindthe second Adventurer, and goes on playing

as usual with this replacement rom the nextturn onward. O course, the player has to startcollecting Treasures again rom scratch.

6. pass the diceto the left

The Dicekeeper passes the dice to the playeron his let, this player becoming the newDicekeeper and rst player or the new turnto come.

Victory The game ends when there are no moreAdventurers let alive in the temple, or whenthe boulder has permanently shut the only

way out, imprisoning orever anyone letinside the temples walls. At game end, eachplayer who managed to get an Adventurer outalive adds the values o the Treasure cards heholds. It is possible (i unlikely) or all playersto lose collectively by ailing to exit anAdventurer rom the Temple.

Imprtant: Caskets (treasure cards with no

number) require a die roll to determine the value

o their contents. This roll only takes place once

the game is over (see Appendix 3).

The player whose Adventurer escaped alivewith the highest total value o Treasure winsthe game. He can now go around braggingabout his connection to the best Adventurerin the world until the next expedition ocourse! In case o a tie, the tied players con-gratulate each other, and share the victory.

appendix 1:adventurers special abilities

You callthis archaeology? Lea Rice
