The Mayan Calender captivates the players. Gearwheels connect five action sites on the board where Mayan cultures are developing. Due to the various sizes of the gearwheels, the workers placed upon them progress with different speeds. The further the workers rotate, the more valuable they become. However, the players would like to be involved with their pieces everywhere, as all around there are useful things to do: obtaining corn as food and currency, making technological progress, attaining the pleasure of the gods and erecting buildings and monuments. There are many way to collect points. Even transporting crystal skulls to Chichen Itza is worthwhile. The players experience a fascinating period of history that finishes with a totalling up of points after the fourth harvest festival.
