The Ancient World

In an ancient, faraway world forgotten by time, five tribes leave behind old traditions as they flock to growing city-states. The cities boast the latest in art, culture, and advancement, and with the strength of the combined tribes, each competes to be the most powerful and influential in the world. The Ancient World combines the depth and tactics of a worker-placement game with the variety and easy set-up of a card game. Players compete to grow the largest and most influential city-state by managing the population, treasury, and military. Players take turns sending workers to take special actions or construct building cards from a pool available to all players. Building cards give players more workers, money, and abilities. Players also play military cards to claim and hold important regions in the surrounding lands. After eight rounds, the player with the most influential city-state wins.
