It's almost the Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican Festival of the Dead, so it is time to remember those loved ones who have passed away. Like many families at this time, you will be building an ofrenda, a colourful, inviting altar with offerings to the dead. In the end, you would like to be the family member with the most beautiful ofrenda, and for more spirits to visit yours than those of your relatives.
To achieve this goal, you must manage the requests of your late relatives by carefully drafting and arranging their portraits on your ofrenda. Each family member was part of a different branch of the family, and each is partial to a certain offering: calavera (sugar skulls), water, salt, fruit, or papel picado (paper decorations).
If you position them well, based on family ties and the offerings they want surrounding them, they'll show their appreciation by visiting your ofrenda and lighting up their portraits. This is crucial, because only lit portraits will grant you points at the end of the game.
Make your ofrenda more inviting by decorating it with candles and marigolds for the enjoyment of the visiting spirits. After all players have taken twelve turns and your ofrendas are full, the game ends and the player with the most points wins.
