About the game
Children of the Inca is a mini-expansion for Tawantinsuyu: The Inca Empire produced during the Turczi Junior Promo Pack campaign on Gamefound in October 2022. the promo contains 5 meeples matching the colours of the workers of the game, placed near the village during setup. If at the end of your turn, you have two identical coloured worker meeples, take the matching coloured child meeple if available. The child meeple does not count against your limit of meeples, however if you still have them at the end of the game they can count towards the relevant prophecies on Palaces when using Golden Age. As a secondary action, you may place a child meeple onto the board, on top of another worker of the same colour without paying gold/god card and ignoring climbing/roaming costs. Resolve tasks as if you just placed the worker below. The worker with the child cannot be retrieved by a Warrior, and the child cannot leave the board once placed. Solo support: If Axomamma/Pachamama has two workers of the same colour in her supply at any point, she removes the matching child meeple from beside the Village. When this happens, she gains the recruiting reward for that colour another time. Return the removed child meeple to the box, Axomamma/Pachamama will not place them.
