THE GAME: The game is to be played across the Peruvian jungle in a bid to reach the Pyramid of Urcaguary, the

Inca God of Underground Treasures. The Pyramid houses the map to the location of the mines of Urcaguary, which holds untold treasures. In todays world of depleting resources, various countries believe that they could gain an upper hand in word politics only if they are monetarily well off. Thus the game begins with the each country sending in a treasure hunter to bring the map from the ancient temple. The High Priest of the ancient Pyramid knew that regardless of the era, Urcaguarys treasures would lure human greed. But he also did not want the treasures, and his Gods greatness to be lost into oblivion. Thus, he made sure that only two of bravest and the worthiest of men could reach the Pyramid and the better of the two would discover the map. LEVEL 1: The Jungle The High Priest placed 10 sapphires in various locations within the Peruvian jungles. Anybody who manages to gain at least 3 of these sapphires would be able to enter the Pyramid and proceed towards the map. It is a game of strategizing to reach the nearest sapphire. The jungles of Peru are fraught with dangers both expected and unexpected. There is poison ivy which can only be treated with the bark or root of sassafras plant. Similarly if the players contract malaria, he has to re route to Recovery Camp and then continues with his quest. There could be pits wherein if a player falls, he loses precious time trying to get out. The High Priest also created underground chambers the locations of which are known but none dare to enter. It is said that these chambers all look the same but may have clues or traps. It all depends on luck. They can choose to avoid the route to the High Priests underground chambers but they might be losing out on useful clues or weapons. LEVEL SPECIFICATIONS: RULES: 1. The 4 treasure hunters start from 4 corners of the jungle and have to proceed towards the center where the Pyramid of Urcaguary is. 2. Each has to collect minimum 3 sapphires in the 1st level in order to enter the Pyramid complex. Number of Players: 4 + 1(Game Master/ High Priest) Number of Sapphires: 10 Number of Underground Chambers: 6 Number of Hurdles: 2 poison ivy; 2 malaria; 2 Trap holes/ Pits. Number of Remedies: 2 sassafras plants; 2 Recovery Camps

3. Luck (the dice) would decide the number of steps one can take but the player would decide the direction (front, back, right or left). 4. If a treasure hunter/player comes across Poison ivy, he has to first re-route to Sassafras plant and progress from there. Similarly, in case of Malaria, they player has to re route to Recovery Camp first. If the player reaches a trap/ pit first, he will lose a turn to roll the dice. 5. When any 2 players gain 3 sapphires, the other two players automatically disqualify to enter the Pyramid.
