Description Edit | History

Regarded by many as Reiner Knizia's masterpiece, the game is set in the ancient fertile crescent with players building civilizations through tile placement. Players are given four different leaders: farming, trading, religion, and government. The leaders are used to collect victory points in these same categories. However, your score at the end of the game is the number of points in your weakest category, which encourages players not to get overly specialized. Conflict arises when civilizations connect on the board, i.e., external conflicts, with only one leader of each type surviving such a conflict. Leaders can also be replaced within a civilization through internal conflicts.

Part of what is considered Reiner Knizia's tile-laying trilogy.

3 Tigris and Euphrates - board
This is my custom board, with the free fonts needed also included. you must instal them, because all small objects like animals are fonts in reality. map still needs some work, I,ve had some problem with size but it can be corrected quickly or maybe I simply did something wrong while cutting those 9 parts. unfortunately it is in 9 parts as it is ready to be laminated with the use of laminating pouches, but someone may find it helpful in other way. Also leader tokens and shaders included.
