Board Gaming Life

Do you wish that you were Indiana Jones, and could find Incan treasures buried in the bowels of ancient tombs? Incan gold can scratch that itch and more. It’s a push your luck game where you are vying with your friends to see whose adventure can find the most treasure without ending up burned in fire, dropped in quicksand or some other gruesome fate. This game can be played in about 30 minutes and favors the bold since if you are the last one in the temple you can claim as much gold as you dare, and you don’t have to split it with anyone else.
