Ostia: Mariner Edition
Players build a merchant fleet, found and upgrade ports, and navigate sea routes to trade goods and acquire special assets in an ancient Mediterranean setting. Gameplay centers on a mancala-style resource distribution and action selection mechanism: players take turns choosing actions from a harbor board, spend resources to construct buildings and ships, and deliver goods to cities for immediate benefits and endgame points. Expansions and deluxe components add new order cards, patron benefits, and upgraded components; the edition consolidates base and expansion content while refining iconography, reference aids, and component clarity to streamline play without changing core rules.
