I know the tiles get randomly drawn from set A, then set B, etc. with volcanoes appearing "not too close together".

But does anyone know of a web site that shows the exact tiles that are contained in each set? I am trying to get a better idea of what tiles to expect and when

cheers

Don't know of any site Trip other than Spiel. Simply make a record of the tiles as they appear in a game A's thru G's.

try this at BoardGameGeek:

Did not look myself, but description fits.

if you have the board game, you know the tile distribution à priori. if you don't, it's worth buying through SBW so everyone gets their due (and you get to teach your friends how to play "across the table"). if you decide not to buy, here is another page at BGG that shows the stone layout in a more visual way: http://files.boardgamegeek.com/file/download/26gfxstwjy/Tikal_Tile_Distribution.html?

thanks guys. i do have the game. bought it to play with my wife. after 1 game she decided it wasn't for her so i gave it to friends to try. i could ask for it back to find the answer to my question but that is a real inconvenience.

these links are great! thanks a lot

you can always "borrow" your board game back for an hour and run the tiles through a copier, one page per lettered stack. that's how i got started and that's as visual as it gets!

That's sort of what I did - I scanned the tiles into my computer and created a folder just for that info.

What I do is take them out and put them and the tiki treasures in a certain order before I play. Shhhh, don't tell Chris Terrell, brian Carr or jack jaeger. Its the only way I can beat them.
