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.

NOTE: More recent editions of the game by Mayfair and Pegasus (possibly among other publishers) contain a double sided board and extra components for playing the advanced version of the game.

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

The Hans im Glück version states it is for 2-4 players; the Mayfair Games version states it is for 3-4 players.

0 Simple A5 Score Book
This is a simple Score Sheet if you want to build your own Score Book. There are 2 pages in the XLS. Print them on both sides of an A4 page then fold the A4 in two. You will get 4 A5 score pages (5 games on each page, 20 in total). At the end of each page there is an empty table where you can summarize the games on each page. If you need more pages simply modify the "1" number of the game and the rest will modify accordingly. (e.g. modify 1 to 21 and you will get pages for 21 to 40 games.)
