In the year 1100, centuries before European contact, Cahokia was a vast and sprawling city. Located along the Mississippi River, the city was known for its earthen mound monuments, sophistocated culture, and expansive trade routes. At its peak, it is estimated that Cahokia residents numbered in the tens of thousands. It is also speculated that Cahokia may have been larger than London at that time.
Cahokia: Rise of the Mound Builders is a worker placement game that takes place in pre-Columbian North American. Players take on the role of influential families who help to cultivate the Cahokia and its earthen monuments. During the game, players will place their matriarch and patriarch pieces, as well as their growing family member pieces in order to hunt and gather for food, and valuable resources. In addition, the players will use their workers to craft jewelry, build buildings, and erect large earthen mounds.
The goal of the game is to earn the most victory points. These points are earned in a number of ways, including mound and building construction, crafting jewelry, earning trade goods, and earning wealth.
Monks mound is the largest of the earthen mounds at Cahokia. It will require all of the players to contribute to its construction. When Monks Mound is complete, the game ends. The player with the highest score wins.
