In P’achakuna, you act as traders who transport natural dyes ("resources") through the ever-changing Andes with their most loyal companion - their llama.
The player with the white llamas only moves through the green valleys, while the player with the black llamas can only climb over the barren mountains.
By rotating the double layered hexagons, both players build their very own paths.
As a trader, you only make profit by delivering resources to the villages with high demand.
With spare resources, you can buy more llamas or additional turn for rotations.
The player that gathers all 7 resources first, wins the game.
I myself would consider this almost a showcase piece. If you have it in your home, you wanna brag about this beautiful cover art. You wanna set it up on the table and have it ready for someone to sit down and play.
P’achakuna is a gorgeously crafted two-player board game that perfectly fits in any family board game collection.
P'achakuna follows its principle of sustainability from the game idea to the material and creates an exciting duel.
The short video summarizes the most important rules of the game and thus enables an easy entry into the first round. On top of that, the rulebook of P’achakuna has been translated into 4 languages and is available for free download. You will also find the Assembly plan (A/B) for printing in case you need a new one.
Hi, we are the designers behind P’achakuna. We are students studying Game Design at Zurich University of the Arts. One time in 2019, we got together and, over the course of one semester, created the initial prototype for P’achakuna. We enjoyed figuring out how to make a simple game mechanical, engaging, and fun and are really happy about the result. Thus, we are very excited to see it realized by Treeceratops.
Johanna is the artist behind all artistic parts of P'achakuna. She has illustrated both the fantastic cover image and the detailed board. This is exactly where one of Johanna's greatest strengths lies, as she is incredibly versatile in her drawing skills. That she moves so playfully and easily in all these different fields of illustration shows her enormous talent. Moreover, the collaboration with her was flawless. Johanna brings in her own ideas, communicates openly, takes feedback seriously and implements it skillfully. That is why we will strive to work with Johanna again in the future.
"P'achakuna" is not only the creation of our team, but also
to a significant extent the work of 4,588 wonderful people
that supported us on Kickstarter.
