Fall of the Jaguar Gods

By Naomi Guyer & Chris Rosedale
Players: 41
Genre: Mayan apocalypse
It
is the end of Wayeb, the unlucky days. Tonight, the King of Tikal holds a
celebration to mark the start of the next solar year. With ambassadors from
neighbouring kingdoms as special guests, it should be an entertaining and
festive evening for all.
However,
this year won’t be the usual decadent affair. Tikal is in the grips of the
worst drought in the history of her people; cloudless skies have brought no
rain and the sun dries up the land. Food is scarce, and the people are on edge.
The priests have been locked up in their temples this past week, as many of the
pious have locked themselves in their houses. There is talk, even amongst the
common folk, of bad omens. Time has shifted, night has been like day, the birds
have been silent. Some have been overheard speaking of a struggle between
demons and gods, followed by the end of days. With no food to appease the
spirits, people fear the worst is yet to come. And so they should!
With
the world’s fate in the hands of the people, will your actions influence the
new year’s fortunes? Will the new year come at all? Decide your fate.
