DESCRIPTION
ANTIKE is a challenging strategy game about the evolution and
competition of ancient civilizations. The name of the game in Ger-
man means "age of antiquity".
Ancient nations found cities, erect temples, sail the seas, do battle,
and make scientific progress. Their legions and galleys open new regi-
ons for settlement, and defend against the enemy. For action in two
different ancient operational theaters, players choose a nation from
among the Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes, Phoenicians, Cartha-
ginians, Persians, Arabs, Egyptians and Babylonians.
ANTIKE is not a game of conquest. The ancient nations do not
compete to establish the biggest kingdom. Instead, each nation tries to
win kings, scholars, generals, citizens and navigators over to its side.
The nation that succeeds in gaining a given number of ancient per-
sonages first wins the game. Lead an ancient nation to victory! But
watch out for your enemies, who will try to destroy your temples!
ANTIKE, for 2 to 6 players aged 12 and up, is a fast-moving stra-
tegy game, rich in variety and with easy-to-follow rules. Winning
depends not on the luck of cards or dice, but on imaginative planning
and smart diplomacy.
Playing time: approx. 90 to 120 minutes.
