General Considerations
Experiment with new starting setups and new technologies which deepen your gaming experience! Teotihuacan: Shadow of Xitle is an expansion for Teotihuacan: City of Gods and requires a copy of the base game to play. All content herein is compatible with both solitaire play and the first expansion, Teotihuacan: Late Preclassic Period.
If anything in this rulebook contradicts a previous rule in the base game, this rulebook takes precedence.
Expansion Setup
Add these tiles to those from the base game, in their respective categories. Refer to the Appendix for an explanation of each tile. It's that simple!
