Overview

Antiquity challenges players to build a thriving city in a medieval setting, but with a crucial twist: growth comes at a significant environmental cost. As you expand, you'll need to carefully manage pollution and resource depletion to avoid devastating consequences for your civilization.

The modular board ensures a different game experience each time, forcing players to adapt their strategies.

Expect tough choices and long-term planning in this challenging economic game.
