Create the most beautiful Village to celebrate Día de los Muertos by collecting balloons, chimeras, visitors, and butterflies through clever tile placement. The player with the most victory points wins.
Viva Catrina offers a strategic placement experience where every tile laid shapes the evolution of your Village. Each turn, you must carefully choose from the available tiles, create paths to connect butterflies and visitors, erect pedestals to attract chimeras, and organize balloon flights to maximize your points. Optimally building a connected network is essential: a bad placement could cut off your paths or make your objectives unattainable. Indirect interaction, through the race for chimeras or balloon tiles, adds a light but constant tension. The rhythm is fluid, and satisfaction comes from watching your Village grow and come alive throughout the game.
