About the game

"The first stone cities are being built in the depths of the jungle and their citizens raise their eyes to the sky waiting for a sign from the gods. The capricious gods are pleased when humans worship them as much as they can - therefore it is obvious that they will grant favors to the city that builds them a sky-high pyramid. Warriors set out to the jungle to get workers to finish the structure as quick as possible." Jukatan is a strategic game with a pinch of bluff. During the game you will be a ruler of an ancient city of an arising civilization. Your job is to finish the pyramid before your opponents do. To accomplish this goal you send your warriors to get workforce and try to deceive your opponents with smart moves.
