During Tawantinsuyu: The Inca Empire, players place workers onto various locations on the game board, performing actions, collecting resources (potatoes, corn, stone, and gold), constructing buildings and stairs, sculpt statues, expanding their military strength, and collecting weavings. Throughout the game, you score victory points whenever you construct stairs or sculpt statues. Gain bonus victory points whenever another player makes use of the stairs you have constructed. Score victory points from temple advancements and control of the four regions. The game ends when all of the worker pool is depleted, symbolising the incorporation of the surrounding area into the mighty Inca Empire. The game accommodates 1 to 4 players and takes around 60 to 120 minutes to play.
