Near – Echoes of Civilizations invites you to write 3,000 years of antiquity… Or rather, to rewrite them, drawing inspiration from real-world civilizations, discoveries, and significant historical events. All of this in just 3 eras of 4 turns!
The game’s mechanics revolve around its cards. Play two per turn to trigger the following effects:
– Develop five Domains (Transportation, Trade, Military, Religion, Production).
– Make history with an event or a discovery (card effect).
– Build your structures on the World board and maximize their effects.
In addition to the points earned during the game, scoring phases will take place at the end of each age and at the end of the game, based on your civilization and its achievements.
It’s up to you to make history!
