About this game
Build a Mediterranean civilization using an innovative timing system where each action costs different amounts of time on your personal clock. Gentes rewards efficiency above all: expensive actions eat your time, leaving fewer turns in a round. Train citizens, build monuments, and found cities while managing the tension between powerful but time-consuming actions and weaker but faster ones. The population card system adds another layer as trained citizens provide ongoing abilities.
