Tikal Review
I love Tikal. In fact it was one of my very first game purchases. It is an elegant game and it can play 2-4 players very easily.
If you are looking for a game that rewards skilled, strategic play, then this is it.

Tikal
Tikal is the first of the “Mask Trilogy”. Other games in this trilogy are Java, Mexica (and possibly Torres as the fourth!)
This game was among the first games that I purchased when I was first introduced to Euro-type games. I liked this game then and I still like it now! Of course, being Spiel des Jahres winner in 1999 helps.
The production quality of this game is fantastic. The tiles are colourful and evoke the lush greenery and mystery of a jungle. The game insert is well thought out holds the components nicely.
The game itself is very good being cerebral and playing for about 2 hours. I have found that as the game progresses, the length of time between player turns increases.
