Become a treasure hunting pirate in 1820’s Peru, searching Cocos Island and piecing together information to find a magnificent bounty before opponents get to it first.
Loot of Lima is a deduction game where you ask questions and try to solve the mystery as fast as possible. During your search, you’ll utilize a clever coordinate system that provides the feeling of actually navigating the island and helps you eliminate the wrong locations on your quest for buried treasure. Three special ability tokens and a Co-Op play option add extra factors to consider and make each game as exciting as possible.
The rules may be straightforward but piecing together all the clues makes this the ultimate head scratching and thrilling puzzle.
How do you make sense of something when you have no definitive information? You ask questions!
Each turn, players roll three 12-sided dice. You pick two dice, and use them to ask another player how many tokens they have in a certain range.
Use the answers to these questions to build overlapping clues, figure out the locations that have already been searched, and deduce where the treasure is hidden. Make sure to use the notepad to keep track of all your notes - there's a lot of information to process!
That is the real challenge. The real fun. By being able to interact with the other players, you get overlapping points of data. Rarely do just one or two questions tell you anything. But you can start to piece together questions from multiple angles, and multiple people. Squint your eyes. Think hard. Figure a few things out. The puzzle will come together.
