About this game
The spiritual successor to Tigris & Euphrates, reimagined on a hex grid with five leader types (artisan, farmer, soldier, trader, governor). Build civilizations by placing tiles and leaders on the shared map, triggering wars when opposing leaders share a region and revolts when two leaders of the same type coexist. Score in all five colors; your final score is your weakest. The hex grid creates more fluid territory than the original's square grid, and the addition of pagodas and a governor leader adds new strategic dimensions to Knizia's masterful conflict system.
