I quite enjoyed this game, and while I won’t get into the game mechanics in detail, the game was fast paced with lots of choices.
This is a war game, and anyone who expects no conflict is fooling him or herself. If one player is allowed to get too far ahead …
As the head of one of a Mediterranean nation, use all your means to establish domination of this great sea
Each player represents a leader of one of five ancient civilizations (Babylon, Rome, Carthage, Egypt, Greece) trying to build Pyramids, other Wonders of the World and to draw Heroes to their ranks. These are the ways that truly great civilizations are measured. Players sail the Mediterranean Sea and explore its surrounding lands to find places to build cities and access to different resources (perfume, oil, gold, slaves, etc.).
Players expand their civilizations by exploiting these finds. The commodities are used to build cities, wonders and pyramids, or to establish trade routes to the areas where the commodities are produced. Players may also conquer open provinces or even those that are controlled by their opponents. All of the wealth gained in the game is reinvested in construction and improvement of Wonders and the recruitment of Heroes.
The first player to build the Pyramids, or recruit 4 Heroes, or build 4 Wonders will be the glorious victor, and the leader of the greatest civilization in the World!
