Let’s Play MEXICA!! @Phoenix Comics & Games!

"All right. Fine. After all, I'm sure you know the proper rituals for blessing a tribute. The holiest days on the calendar. Oh, and of course you know all about Xibalba. Okay, good luck! See you at the execution."
The year is 1325, and we have just discovered the original island, as foretold in the prophesy. We will once again construct Tenochtitlan, the future Aztec capital.

Mexica is a medium-complexity abstract strategy and area majority/influence game with a high degree of player interaction and blocking. It also includes elements of tile placement, grid movement and action points. You are a Pilli Mexica, a great noble. To make ourselves even more indispensable, you will construct canals to carve out districts -- calpuli -- of specific sizes, as commanded by the Emperor, and travel to these districts to found them officially before anyone else does. We shall build temples in the districts to demonstrate our spiritual supremacy over one another and gain favor with the Emperor. New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 4 players
90 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity.

(Don't worry, we'll go over the rules on the day, too.)

A few important details:

• This event is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM PLEASE be on time! If you would like to bring a guest please message me.
• It's Cap Hill, so parking can be a challenge. Please factor traffic & parking into your commute and if you will be late post in messages or the Discord. Phoenix Comics & Games is about a block from several bus lines, the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Denny), & the Capitol Hill light rail station.
• If you need to cancel please do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it! Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with limited seats available, I want to be sure that those seats actually have people in them. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours), no-shows, and late arrivals (30+ minutes) without good reason will be marked as no-show for the event and will be automatically moved to the waitlist if one forms for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me and other select hosts!
• SUPPORT THE VENUE! - Purchasing something isn't a requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!
• I open signups on Wednesday, 3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to have the opportunity to claim a seat early, you can join the SBG Discord, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open as well as updates and posting polls for future meetups!
