A new empire is about to emerge in the north of Mesopotamia.\u003cbr\u003eNomadic tribes gather under the leadership of Assur, a city-state dedicated to the cult of the powerful mountain god. But life in the desert is precarious, and before ruling the world, one must first learn to survive…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayers take the role of the chiefs of nomadic tribes. They travel the desert to find food and build wells and ziggurats. During the three reigns which make up the game, they try to spread the domination of their tribe over Assyria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral flow of play is as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhase 1: Players get resources for expansion and decide on play order\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this phase, players pick cards with resources that enable expansion on the board. In general he\/she who gets most food, plays last. First player expands with least food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhase 2: Players expand on the board to earn points or money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlayers begin to form strings and\/or clusters of huts and pay for placing them with their food cards. Depending on where huts are placed, they either score points or earn camels (money).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhase 3: Players spend money\/camels on various investments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA player either goes for one-time bonuses from the nobles of Assur, or makes long-term investments by offerings to gods and building Ziggurats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe game lasts for three eras, made up of 2-3 of such cycles. After each era comes the flood: the board is partially cleaned up, but players also capitalize on their investments from phase 3. Each round, players also score points for huts (those built on fertile land between the two rivers bring more points) and ziggurat tiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigner : Emanuele Ornella\u003cbr\u003eArtist : Arnaud Demaegd\u003cbr\u003e# of Players : 2 - 4\u003cbr\u003ePlaying Time : 45- 90 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RIO GRANDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324719444121,"sku":"3558380008149","price":62.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/1669\/2121\/files\/raw_8e6b9243-8ee2-41d3-bff0-c0e3bc7cff66.jpg?v=1784659969","url":"https:\/\/www.pokejeux.ca\/products\/assyria-special-order","provider":"POKÉ JEUX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
