Welcome to the world of Aya, the goddess of water. You will embark on a journey up the river to seek out nature's treasures and marvel at the variety of landscapes and animals that emerge as you glide along. Be clever and cooperate for the best photos so that you can share your incredible journey! Create and discover a new world each time you play with family and friends. In Aya, you have to cooperate to connect as many landscape tiles and animal photo tokens as possible to arrange a chain of dominoes placed upright one after another. At the end of the game, they will fall onto each other, each one toppling the next – in a cascade effect – to reveal the ultimate number of landscapes and animals and bring back the greatest photos. Working as a team, the players try to score as many points as possible.
