Wiñay Kawsay

Description

Machu Picchu has captivated the imagination of the world and academia alike. There’s been plenty of theories about what its purpose could have been. Was it a lost city? Perhaps a citadel? Or maybe something else entirely? That is for you to decide! 
In Wiñay Kawsay (roughly pronounced win-nyay cow-say) you will step into the shoes of historical scholars! Uncover artifacts, reexamine evidence – publish your histories, and navigate the impact of your actions on this enigmatic wonder. In the deeply competitive world of academia, will you succeed in influencing perception of what Machu Picchu really was? Or will your theories be one of many forgotten attempts at unravelling this mystery?
  • Collect Evidence – Place Researcher meeples to pick up evidence cards across the site of machu Picchu.
  • Compete to Author Publications – Commit evidence cards supporting different interpretations to win publications and bonuses!
  • Manage your Impact – mitigate your disturbance to the site by returning artifacts and more.
Wiñay Kawsay was a finalist for the Zenobia Award, a competition and mentoring program in which game designers from underrepresented groups develop and submit historical tabletop game prototypes. (for more information, go to zenobiaaward.org). Developed with detailed research and consultation, you will be immersed in this critique of the complexities and consequences of modern scholars trying to understand the past. Embark on a thrilling journey of historical discovery with Wiñay Kawsay!"
