As you journey through the Ancient World of the eastern Mediterranean and Near East, you'll command a unique nation in a quest to become the most advanced and dominant civilization. While battles and strategic land control are crucial, this is not your typical war game. The true goal is to achieve overall progress in culture, economy, and politics, leading to rivalries and territorial disputes rather than all-out eliminations. Can you guide your people to success from the dawn of history to 250BC? Perfect for 2-7 players!
