Welcome aboard! The sacred animals of the Ala-Too Mountains can’t wait to share their wisdom and blessings with you—let the adventure begin!
Sacred Animals of Ala-Too is a competitive tabletop game where players race to collect wisdom tokens from each of the sacred animals of Ala-Too Mountains in Kyrgyzstan. To progress, players draw cards from the deck to earn points by either matching informational cards or answering questions created by other players. These points are then combined with the results of six alchiks (or dice) rolls to create specific sums that move players’ tokens along designated paths toward each animal’s home in the mountains.
The game narrative integrates elements of both scientific and traditional ecological knowledge, alongside the culture, traditions, and folklore of the Kyrgyz people. In doing so, the game aims to convey a holistic, nomadic worldview, emphasizing the deep interconnection and harmony between humans and nature.
