With the passing of a great spiritual leader there is a void in the Aztec world. Players compete in a test of artistry and skill to win the favour of the gods. By carving intricate sculptures of feathered serpents, known as Coatl, players want to become the next High Priest.

Players spend turns collecting thick, colorful head, tail, and body sections or assembling them into Coatls. They work to fulfill the beautifully illustrated Prophecy and Temple cards to earn prestige and become the next High Priest as the head of the spiritual Aztec world.
