What kind of game is this?

The Quest for El Dorado: Dice Adventure is a dice game by Reiner Knizia, based on the well-known board game. Everyone has their own game board and draws a route through the jungle to the lost city of El Dorado.

You always choose one die from a shared roll. Choose well, and you move forward. Along the way, you make offerings at temples, and whoever gets there first makes things harder for the others. The game comes in a small box and is quick to set up.

How do you play?

There are seven dice. The starting player rolls them all and everyone takes one die at a time until they are gone. Then the next player rolls again.

Expedition: with the symbol on your die (for example, a machete or paddle) you cross off a field that borders your route.
Temples: with coins you make offerings. Whoever makes an offering first determines how many coins the others must pay at least.
Supply: you can also use a die in the bottom part of your field. This way you save up for benefits that you use later.

Example: There is one paddle left in the middle. You need it, but your neighbor does too. Do you take it now, or do you take the coins to be the first to make an offering at the temple?

Whoever has visited all the temples and reaches El Dorado ends the round. If multiple players succeed, the winner is whoever has made the most offerings in the temples.
