Altay: Dawn of Civilization

Lead one of four ancient peoples as new settlers arrive and change the balance of a contested region. Players manage a faction deck and play cards to produce resources (stone, metal, wood, knowledge), recruit technologies brought by settlers, build settlements, expand across a terrain-divided board, and resolve combat and defenses. Cards and board control interact: many card effects scale with control of specific territories and resources found there. Players also acquire permanent achievement cards that augment their faction or score points. Victory combines territorial expansion, technological development, and legacy created through achievements.
