"Tikal offers jungle brilliance for 10 action points a turn" - TUAW

★★★★★★★★★★

Send your expedition members out from base camp to discover buried treasure and uncover over-grown temples. But stay alert, as both treasures and temples can change hands as you compete with other expeditions!

Each turn, you place a new tile representing an area of the jungle you have just mapped, then spend action points to explore. When a volcano tile is revealed, each player has one extra chance to improve their position, then points are awarded. Plan your moves and stake your claims wisely, and your expedition will take it's place in the history books!

With no setup time required, no pieces to lose, and no arguments about the rules, the future of board games is here and Tikal gives you exactly what you want -- to play!

How to play:

Choose your favorite of 6 Mayan totems as your avatar, and then discover the true power of this ancient civilization as you compete against them in solo play.

On a players turn they perform the following actions:

1.Place the next terrain tile on the board; and,
2.Use 10 action points to explore Tikal

Play continues in order with each player placing a new tile and exploring until the volcano tile is drawn. When a volcano tile is drawn players are scored and given 10 more APs to set themselves up for the best possible score.

After the last tile is played a final scoring round occurs and the winner is determined.

Great implementation of a really good game

The dev team did a wonderful job on this app. We can play fine on an iPhone. The players and ratings, and the network or local play all maximize the playability.

Once I played with enough to figure out what was going on it was a really fun game. No tutorial. Just have to watch the ai and catch on. The game does crash some times over and over. It would be annoying if i really really wanted to play it. But I read a lot of the other reviews and expected this. Four stars for the game. One empty for technical issues.


Fantastic

Fantastic turn based strategy game. Highly recommended.


Fun game

My only complaint is that when playing online it occasionally gets "stuck" between players turns.

Pinch is bad and inconsistent but a great game


Very fun game.

But the UI is a bit awkward to use. Large fingers will find it difficult to accurately select items. I find the zoom jumps around a bit, and doesn't respond easily to pinch attempts. And the right sidebar is constantly covering the last column or two of tile positions, even in the end game when those positions are the main targets for new tiles.


Love this board game
