Codinca

Codinca — The Fast-Paced Abstract Strategy Board Game

Shortlisted in the top three best new Abstract Games at the 2012 UK Games Expo, Codinca is a quick, clever strategy game for 2–4 players that’s easy to learn but endlessly replayable.

Deep within the rain forests of the Yucatan, rival teams of treasure hunters have discovered the lost city of Codinca. At the heart of the once great citadel stands a stone temple. Local legends tell of great treasures buried beneath — but despite months of searching, no entrance has been found. Can you crack the code and be the first to unlock the secrets of Codinca?

How to Play

Just like a real temple with movable stones, the tiles can be laid out in seconds on any flat surface. Each player uses Earth, Wind, Air or Water tiles, flipping and repositioning them to complete their own code of four patterns. Three Spirit Cards add an extra layer of cunning to every game — use them wisely.

Codinca is a game of strategy, adaptability, and a little craftiness. No two games play out the same way.
