In Founders of Teotihuacan, 1 to 4 players compete to create the best-designed city of Teotihuacan. Over the course of three or four rounds, players place their disks on action spaces, forming towers of varying strength, and perform actions that allow them to build temples, buildings, and the pyramid central to their vision of Teotihuacan. Once the eclipse comes, all designs are assessed - and the player who scores the most points wins.
