Wiraqocha is said to have created the sun and the pre-Columbian tribes of the Andes. Under his guidance, those who would become the powerful Inca people emerged from their caves to discover new horizons in order to subsist and develop in harmony with nature. They venerated Pachamama, Mother Earth, the basis of all living beings, plants and minerals, on earth and below. In Tiwanaku, first heralded as Pachamama, you lead your tribe into uncharted territory in search of new lands to cultivate. Your goal: to explore and map out regions to develop crops according to Pachamama's customs and heritage. If you honor her by respecting the great principles of diversity and complementarity, Nature will reward you; if not, you will suffer her wrath. In this race, risk-taking, deduction, intuition, and a good sense of timing should see you through.
Each scenario disc shows a unique layout of terrain and crop tiles. Terrain tiles are located in regions of 1 to 5 spaces, and a region of one color does not touch a region of the same color, even diagonally. Crop tokens have a value from 1 to 5, and each value has a different size/color (level 1 is brown, level 2 is green, etc.). A region of size 1 will contain a crop token of value 1, a region of size 2 will contain crop tokens of values 1 and 2, and only a region of size 5 will contain crop tokens of each value. Two identical crop values can never be adjacent, even diagonally. At the end of an exploration or divine action, you can hand over 1 to 5 offering cubes for 0 to 10 points. You can hold a maximum of one offering of each color.
When the last terrain tile is placed on the board, the game ends. Starting with this player, each player in turn may perform a single divine action or pass. If you pass, you take no further action. If you divine, you gain points and an offering cube as usual, or you lose points and must pass. Go around the table until everyone has passed, then make a final offering and see who has the most points.

it's not a letter, more a symbol, sort of.
