Inkan Aarre

What to Expect

Players explore a new map of South America, moving between points and collecting treasures. The mechanics Point to Point Movement and Roll / Spin and Move create a dynamic flow. The game fixes issues from the original, preventing players from getting stuck on islands. Sessions last about 45 minutes, suitable for quick, adventurous play with 2 to 6 players.

Who Is This Game For?

Inkan Aarre targets families and casual gamers aged 8 and up looking for a light exploration game. It is an accessible game with straightforward rules and short duration, ideal for players without prior experience who enjoy a mix of luck and decision-making.

How It Works

The core mechanic is Point to Point Movement: you move your piece between locations on a South America map. Movement is determined by rolling dice or spinning a spinner (Roll / Spin and Move). Along the way, you collect treasures and race other players to the main prize. The game ends after a set time or when a player finds the main treasure. This blend of chance and route choice shapes the gameplay.

What Makes It Special

It was nominated for Årets Spill Best Children's Game in 2019. The game belongs to the South America and Inca Empire families, combining exploration and luck-based mechanics.
