Rules
Inkan aarre is mostly similar to Afrikan tähti. Players take turns to move around a board of interconnected cities, picking up tokens in search for the famous treasure of the Inca, a golden sun god statue.
The board represents the continent of South America, and the currency used is the Mexican peso. At the start of the game, all tokens are shuffled and placed face down in the cities on the board. All players start from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and receive 300 pesos as starting money. On each player's turn, he/she rolls the die and moves his/her counter. If the player reaches a city with a token, he/she can either pay 100 pesos or stay at the city, waiting until he/she rolls a 4, 5 or 6. The tokens in the game are:
Travelling on the ground is free, but travelling by the sea costs 100 pesos for embarkation and 100 pesos for disembarkation. If a player has no money left, he/she can travel on the sea for free, but only 2 places per turn. Players can also use flight routes to fly immediately from one city to another. Flying costs 300 pesos.
Once the treasure of the Inca has been found, the first player to take either the treasure, or a sun icon, to Machu Picchu, Peru, wins the game.
