The Golden Ages

Lead a civilization through four eras, from first explorers to wonders that outlast empires. In The Golden Ages you send explorers off the board edge to reveal new land tiles, found cities, invent technologies, fund fine arts, raise buildings and, when you have to, send soldiers to the front. Each era, whoever starts a Golden Age picks a History Judgement card that tells everyone how points will be scored this round, so the rules for winning change under your feet. Money keeps flowing in while others hesitate, so timing matters. Artists, wonders, tech, attacks and secret future goals all score, which gives you plenty of ways to chase victory and plenty of ways to get stuck. It takes around ninety minutes for two to four.
