What this is
In Mexica, players build the old Aztec city of Tenochtitlan with flowing canals and beautiful temples. In the 4 player game, players with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most buildings score decreasing numbers of points. Players erect bridges and move from one bridge to the next, which costs 1 action point regardless of the distance.
