Features: This civilization game is for 2-4 players and will last around 90 minutes. While training priests, soldiers, merchants, artisans, and scholars, players will establish and populate significant cities, while creating monuments that will glorify their greatness to those who see them in the future. To perform most actions, you will take an available Action Tile from the main board and add it to the time track on your player board, paying its cost in coins (6 in the example above) and taking the required number of Hourglass Tokens (1 above). When an Action Tile requires you to take multiple Hourglass Tokens, you may choose to place 2 in a single space of your time track in order to allow room for more actions - when your time track is full you won't be able to take any more actions for the rest of the round. At the end of the round, you'll return all Action Tiles to the main board and remove 1 Hourglass Token from each space of your time track. Any remaining Hourglass Tokens slide to the left and stay for the next round, limiting the number of actions you'll be able to take.
