Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea is an exciting, easy-to-learn, easy-to-play but challenging to master Abstract Game in which Players guide the renowned and legendary Civilizations that surged and receded around the shores of the Mediterranean, which the Romans aptly called the Mare Internum, or Inner Sea.
Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea is not just one game but many games. From 1 to 6 Players will take the role of one, two or even three of these Civilizations as they compete across up to four epochs on land and sea, seeking to survive a host of potential natural disasters while making their indelible mark on History through Conquest and the Building of Cities and great Wonders: thereby becoming the dominant power of their age.
Extensive Solitaire Rules allow any Scenario, including the Basic Game, to be played by a Single Player against one or more Non-Player Civilizations (NPCs). The NPC component may be peaceful or hostile, or change their attitude depending on the actions of the Player. Historical War Game Scenarios offer particularly aggressive Solitaire System-controlled Opponents for those who want to fight to expand or defend their Civilization.
Select Scenarios recreate the situation at the start of the Punic Wars or the Roman Civil Wars of Caesar vs. Pompey and Anthony and Cleopatra against Octavian. Other Game set up options can cram players into half or two-thirds size Maps that all but force them to fight. There are even double-civilization and double-sized civilization options for those who want to conquer the world of Ancient Civilizations of the Inner Sea.
