Description

Relive Alexandria’s golden age as the intellectual capital of the world, in the era of the Great Library and Lighthouse, through a fully asymmetrical competitive game built on constructive, positive interaction. In a world guarded by the Ptolemaic Army and thriving with Harvesters, Crafters, Architects, Merchants, Priests, Philosophers, and Seafarers, lead any faction in a truly asymmetrical journey where each pursues victory along a different path. In this living society, every action you take fuels Alexandria’s growth. A miner striking iron grows richer when he trades his ore through a merchant to the weaponsmith, who forges powerful arms that strengthen the Ptolemaic Army and protect all citizens. Your choices may uplift everyone at the table, however, the Player who contributes the most to elevating Alexandria to its greatest glory will be remembered as its true architect. To achieve this, you must discover your unique actions and draft the dice that best let you trade resources, grow your population, acquire luxuries, unlock and upgrade your faction’s powers, and earn the most Victory Points across 5 Rounds. —description from the publisher
