The Time Has Come to Support the Kickstarter Campaign and Join the Adventure!

Discover Ancient Games and Become a Guardian of Cultural Heritage

Time is running out to support the LUDOS: America campaign on Kickstarter — only a few days left!

We invite you to be part of a unique project that helps preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples who lived on the American continent thousands of years ago. By joining the campaign, you’ll not only learn about ancient cultures but also help preserve this knowledge through board games. This is your chance to play ancient games that have been passed down through generations and are now available for you to experience.

Games that Will Transport You to Different Eras

LUDOS: America is a collection of four unique board games, each based on the traditions and cultures of different peoples of America.

These games allow you to immerse yourself in the cultural context of a particular region and discover the centuries-old traditions that helped the people of those times survive and thrive. Each game reveals not only strategic and logical elements but also the philosophies, beliefs, and worldviews of ancient civilizations.

Komikan: An Ancient Strategy Game from South America

Step into the southern regions of America with Komikan, a game inspired by the traditions of the peoples of Chile.

In this game, you’ll split into two groups: pumas and alpacas. Each of these groups has its own features and goals, requiring players to use not only logic but also strategic planning. Deception and predicting the opponent’s moves are key elements of the game, making Komikan a thrilling and layered experience.

It’s more than just a game — it’s a way to connect with the spirit of the people who have played such games for centuries.

Puluc: A Game that Carries the Spirit of the Maya Civilization

Puluc is an ancient game based on the traditions of the Maya civilization, popular in Guatemala.

This simple yet highly strategic game involves capturing and defending pieces. The game has deep roots in Maya philosophy and culture, where every move is not just a piece’s movement but an act with symbolic meaning. Each of your decisions represents a struggle for power and influence, reflecting the historical battle for resources and territories.

Puluc is not just a game with rules — it’s a real journey into the world of ancient wisdom.

Konane: A Game of the Hawaiian Islanders

Transport yourself to the sunny islands of Hawaii with Konane, a game used by the indigenous people to develop strategic thinking.

In this game, you’ll compete against your opponent, trying to block their moves and capture key positions on the board. Konane is not just a physical competition; it’s a mental process where analyzing the situation, being observant, and making decisive moves are crucial.

This game beautifully illustrates how ancient Hawaiians used board games to train their military strategies and intellectual skills.

Awithlaknannai: The Battle for the Zuni Tribe's Territory

One of the most complex and profound games in the collection is Awithlaknannai, inspired by the traditions of the Zuni people.

This game focuses on strategic territorial capture and defense. In Awithlaknannai, it’s not just about attacking but also anticipating your opponent’s moves, using natural elements and cultural symbols that the indigenous peoples used to protect their lands.

The game carries an element of mystery and sacredness, where every move holds deep symbolic significance.

Immersion in Culture and History

LUDOS: America is not just a collection of games. It’s a true cultural journey that opens up a world you may not have known. Each game in the collection is dedicated to a specific people and their unique culture. By playing Komikan, Puluc, Konane, and Awithlaknannai, you not only enjoy an engaging gaming experience but also become part of a culture that has been passed down through generations.

Every session is a step towards learning about the past, recalling how these great peoples lived, thought, and acted.
