Description

???? (Mayale!) is a puzzle game with a theme of Mayan civilization. By placing cards in front of you, you form cities which consist of temples, houses, and fountains.

In this game, there are 72 cards, each of which has six terrain squares. At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt 15 terrain cards. They then shuffle their cards to form their deck.

Each round, they simultaneously draw two cards from their deck. They then choose one and place it in front of themselves, and place the other on top of another player's deck face-up. This process is done in real time.

When you place your card in front of you, you must partially overlap it on an existing card. Both of overlapped squares must have the same terrain.

If at least one temple, houses, and fountain are surrounded by the forest, they form a city, earning you victory points at end of game depending on the size of the city. Fountains score 3pts each. Temples and houses score more points the more they appear in the city. For each macaw you can see in your forest, you score 1pt at the end of the game.

As the game nears the end, you might place a card with no chance to score. In that case, you don't place it but turn it over instead for 2 pts. However, cards that have been placed cannot be moved or retrieved to score.

At the end of the game, the highest scorer wins the game. The game can be played solitaire.
