Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar
2012 · 2-4 Players · ~90-120 min · Competitive
Tzolk'in's interlocking gear system transforms worker placement from a familiar framework into something genuinely new, rewarding patience and long-term planning in ways few games manage. The learning curve is steep and the visual complexity can overwhelm first-timers, but players who push through find a deeply satisfying strategic puzzle that has aged remarkably well since 2012. This is worker placement for people who think the genre peaked too early.
