The election of the Aztec High Priest is imminent. In order to prove their value and merit, the contenders engage in a race for prestige to win the favor of the gods. Will you be able to make the most beautiful sculptures of feathered snakes (called Cóatl) to stand out and gain access to the coveted title of High Priest? In Cóatl, players work to build the most beautiful and valuable serpents. The serpents, or Cóatl, are constructed with a head, a tail, and a number of body tiles, each made from chunky, colorful plastic. On a turn, players will either take tiles from the central board to their personal board, or work to construct one of their Cóatls with the different tiles they've collected. The game end is triggered when one player finishes their third Cóatl. Players receive points for fulfilling objectives, and the one with the most is named the new High Priest! ••• L'élection au titre de grand prêtre aztèque est imminente.

Saurez-vous réaliser les plus belles sculptures de serpents à plumes (appelés Cóatl) pour vous démarquer et ainsi accéder au titre tant convoité de grand prêtre aztèque? Dans Cóatl, les joueurs construisent les plus beaux et précieux serpents à plumes qui soient. Ces reptiles, appelés Cóatl par les Aztèques, sont construits d'une tête, une queue et un certain nombre de pièces de corps en plastique épais et coloré. À tour de rôle, les joueurs prennent les pièces du plateau central et les transposent sur leur plateau personnel afin d'assembler stratégiquement des Cóatls en fonction des couleurs édictées par leurs cartes d'objectifs. La partie se termine lorsqu'un joueur complète son troisième Cóatl. Les joueurs reçoivent des points pour la réalisation d'objectifs et celui qui en a cumulé le plus est déclaré grand prêtre aztèque! ••• In der aztekischen Mythologie ist der Schöpfergott Quetzalcoatl als Gott des Windes, des Himmels und der Erde allgegenwärtig. Gefiederten Schlangen, Cóatl genannt, schmücken antike Tempelanlagen in ganz Mexiko. Erschafft die aufwändigsten und elegantesten Skulpturen geflügelter Schlangen, auch Cóatl genannt, damit einer von euch zum neuen Hohepriester der Azteken ernannt wird.Während des Spiels erschafft ihr Cóatl, indem ihr Kopf-, Körper- und Schwanzsegmente verbindet, die den Voraussetzungen eurer Prophezeiungskarten entsprechen. Je mehr der Voraussetzungen erfüllt werden, desto mehr Prestigepunkte bringt das fertige Cóatl.
