Description Edit | History

Tikal is a game of exploration within the Central American jungles in search of lost temples and the treasures within. Players send their team of explorers into the jungle, exposing more and more of the terrain. Along the way, you find temples that require further uncovering and treasures. Players attempt to score points for occupying temples and holding onto treasure.

Tikal is the first game of the Mask Trilogy.

4 Standard Quick Reference
A Quick Reference for Tikal in a standardized format. The idea is to refresh your memory using the same template for each game (I just uploaded one for Agricola as well). Sections include: What each players gets, what each player does, when the game ends, etc. Comments/suggestions appreciated! (BTW, this is my first file upload to BGG!)

2 Squash's Treasure Scoring Variant
This is a variation of the treasure scoring variants created by user "manowarplayer" (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/127233) and Scott DiBartolo (http://www.westbankgamers.com/viewarticle.php?action=more&articleid=164). The difference with this one is that it gives a unique value to every treasure and it employs images of the tokens so that you are not left arguing over which one is the "Mayan Idol", etc. It is a single-page image which can be trimmed to fit within your Tikal rulebook.

5 Kellogg's Mini Tikal translation
This file is a translation into English from the German special Tikal edition Kellogg's put in cereal boxes quite some time ago. The original thread providing more details can be found [url=http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/212268]here[/url]. Please not that even though there is another 'Mini Tikal' to be found in the files section, they are not alike. Kellogg's Tikal is played with a slightly different set of rules, using somewhat different jungle tiles. You can find these in the Images section. This file is version 1.0.

1 Tikal Inventory.doc
Inventory checklist usable for a school game club. The students date the top of each column and initial the count on each part at the beginning and end of the session. It became necessary in my school to have a way to track who was counting the pieces.
