Assyria

Glorious ziggurats emerge from the ebb and flow of tribes in the Mesopotamian desert. Players expand across the desert and the fertile land between two rivers, placing huts to gain points or camels. They build wells and permanent ziggurats, make offerings to the gods, and seek the favor of Assur’s nobles. Across three eras, floods clear parts of the board while rewarding long-term investments, creating a balance between immediate gains and lasting development.
