Legends of Lima is a tile-laying card game where players are competing to reach one of the world's largest lost treasures, the Great Treasure of Lima. The game revolves around a valley at the center of the table where the treasure is reportedly hidden. Each turn players take up to three actions. Possible actions include drawing a card from the deck, playing a path card or moving your pawn. The first player to build a path to the treasure and reach it with their pawn wins. Watch out! Ancient totems sprawled across the island give players special abilities with exciting twists. The game takes place in 1909, after a large earthquake had collapsed the largest cave system on Cocos Island into a valley. It had been rumoured that the island's caves had been used by pirates for centuries to hoard their riches. Players take the role of famous treasure hunters that have raced to the island to explore it. —description from the designer
