Chachapoya

Set in 1930s South America, players are rival archaeologists dividing a cache of Chachapoya artifacts while hostile forces lurk in the background. Each round the active player reveals and hides selected treasure cards, then players bid using sets of adventurer cards (same rank, variable count) to win the visible and hidden spoils. Collected treasures score points but collecting too many of one type causes elimination, and special cards (Triad, Secret Service) affect play. Rounds reset players’ adventurer hands to one card, and the highest-scoring non-eliminated player wins.
