This is a great game where you will be building out your civilization using common cards and cards specific to one of four factions (Romans, Barbarians, Egyptians, or Japanese).
As you build out your civilization you will gain more production resources or gain special abilities through "Features" and "Action" cards. The goal of the game is to acquire the most victory points after 5 rounds.
This is a game that is fun to play but may take a couple plays to understand how to get the victory point engine going. Each faction does play differently so it pays off to play the same faction a couple times.
