About the game

What is Pátzcuaro?

Every November 2nd in a magical land called Mexico, families build wonderful monoliths decorated with stories and tradition. With their memories, meals and favorite objects altars are decorated in honor of the memory of their loved ones who rest in peace. Today we will build the best of those altars in the city that lives this holiday like no other: Pátzcuaro. In Pátzcuaro players are responsible for going to a cultural market to get the letters of objects that make up their altars and build them. From 2 to 4 players, 20 minutes in duration, for 10 years and over, with hand management through cards. —description from the designer
