ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING EDUCATIONAL BOARD GAMES IN COMING TO KICKSTARTER 10 AM EST FEBRUARY 22, 2022!
Ahau is an innovative Euro-style board game set in the Classical Period of the Maya, which provides a fascinating and immersive theme. Besides being a fun way of entertainment, it's also a playful educational tool that brings Maya history closer to its players. The cultural and historical aspects of the game were reviewed by David S. Anderson, professor of anthropology and archeology, instructor at the Radford University in Virginia, U.S. Furthermore, our team of advisors include:
Josh Schell, a PhD Candidate at Brown University who works as an archeologist in the Usumacinta Region,
Walter Paz Joj from Guatemala, our cultural, a modern aj'tzib or Maya scribe, who is working hard to resurrect the ancient Maya writing system for modern use
Carlos H Rodriguez P, our cultural consultant from Mexico who is also well-versed in Maya history and culture, and knows how to write and read Mayan codices.
In the game, players take on the role of ancient Maya rulers and compete for dominance over the Yucatán peninsula.
