Sacred Valley (2023)

Overview

Where fertile terraces rise against the mountain winds, farmers compete for the bounty of the Andes.

Sacred Valley is a tile placement farming game for 3–5 players, playing in about 60 minutes. Set in the fertile terraces of Peru during the Inca Empire, each player leads a family of expert farmers racing to grow the most prosperous homestead.

On your turn you place seed tiles onto shared 3D terraces to expand your fields and score harvest points, harvest crops for coins when the timing is right, or visit the seed and specialist markets to buy new seeds, hire powerful Camayo specialists, and unlock technology cubes that deepen your options.

Strategic choices about where to plant, when to harvest, and which specialists or tech to acquire define your efficiency and income. The shared terrace spaces create tension as you compete for the best spots and maximize your farm’s production.

With accessible rules and meaningful decisions, Sacred Valley delivers satisfying planning and competition in a beautifully themed agricultural challenge.

- The Chinese/English version of the game is known as Urubamba Valley.
