About this game
Build a colony over four eras spanning hundreds of years in this massive euro game. Place buildings, manage workers (farmers, citizens, merchants), and develop infrastructure across an ever-expanding modular board. Each era adds new buildings and complexity, growing from a simple settlement to a thriving metropolis. Games can run from one era (1 hour) to all four (6 hours). The worker hierarchy forces meaningful decisions about education and promotion. An epic-scale euro for groups who want maximum depth and length.
