An innovative blend of deck-building and kingdom-building
For years, in an isolated region at the heart of a vast continent, four mysterious peoples have developed different cultures, fusing magic and technology in a delicate balance with nature and each other. Today, they face a challenge: the arrival of new settlers, bringing with them more advanced crafts and technologies, new weapons and combat techniques, and a totally different way of life.
As the leader of one of Altay's first inhabitants, how will you react to this challenge? Will you be ready to accept the new settlers and merge with them, or will you concentrate on your ancient traditions? Will you expand your kingdom or develop new knowledge? Will you build eternal monuments or crush your enemies with your armies?
Altay - Dawn of Civilization is an original blend of deck-building, civilization development and zone expansion. Players control one of four factions, each represented by a starting deck with unique cards and subtle differences in the number of “base” cards. On each turn, players use their cards to produce resources (stone, metal, wood, knowledge), build new settlements and expand on the board, attack or defend against their enemies, or manipulate their deck or hand of cards.
The game board represents one of the regions where the four peoples are in conflict, each characterized by a different type of terrain and the presence of different resources. The card deck and game board extensions are fully included in the game.
Victory is assured through a combination of territorial expansion, technological development and the creation of lasting memories of your civilization's achievements.
