This game is set in the Southern American jungle. The story is a myth about a jade statue (a king), that was stolen by the Spanish conquistadors who got lost due to a curse (and with them the statue. The board shows eight oracles, according to the myth one of which turns into the jade statue when someone solves three questions/puzzle. This is a game that combines deduction with pawn movement. There are turns in which the deduction part is reduced to a minimum if you are lucky in the movement part.
