About this game
Roll Through the Ages hands you a fistful of dice and a tiny civilization to grow, and somehow that is enough. Each turn you roll for workers and goods, reroll the risky ones up to twice, then spend what you collect on monuments, buildings, and developments before hazards like plague or famine chip away at your progress. It plays like a stripped-down cousin of Through the Ages, minus the hours of planning, with all the satisfaction of watching a civilization compound turn after turn. Solo or up to four, it scales cleanly either way. A perfect gateway if dice-and-set-collection games like Yahtzee ever left you wanting a bit more to build.
