Who it's for

Heavy euro fans who enjoy tableau-building and dice-drafting puzzles set in an underused ancient civilization.

Not for you if…

You're newer to euro games — Minos leans on the heavier end with a lot of interlocking systems to track at once.

About this game

Minos: Dawn of the Bronze Age puts you at the head of a Minoan clan competing for the title of Minos through governance, trade, and cultural prestige rather than open warfare. Over just four rounds, you draft and assign dice to a programming board, build cities and monuments, open trade routes, and issue decrees to outmaneuver rival clans. It's a dense, tableau-building euro rooted in a rarely-explored Bronze Age civilization.
