Game description from the publisher: Life and Death are in a constant struggle to gain the upper hand in the cycle of life. In each round of Azteka, the two combatants place a piece or spin the wheel of destiny. Each side does its best to reach opposing goals: Life tries to expand into all areas, while Death is content to rule either a single area or the ring of the cycle of life. In a three-player game, mummies are out to play a trick on both Life and Death. Who will come out on top?
