Ancient Civilizations of East Asia

Brought to you by the same team that created the first two games of the series, designers Christopher Vorder Bruegge, Mark McLaughlin with Fred Schachter; Ancient Civilizations of East Asia (ACEA) is not a sequel nor expansion, but a STAND ALONE game using the same MULTIPLAYER AND SOLITAIRE base systems as its predecessors, but with many new and exciting features to intrigue and challenge its players. When getting ready to play the next game of GMT’s Ancient Civilization Series, check your feelings at the temple door as you and up to five other players hurl floods, plagues, volcanoes and earthquakes of truly karmic proportions at each other and then send hordes of rampaging ravenous barbarians to loot and pillage what remains in this “Take That!” game not of merely civilization BUILDING but primarily of civilization SURVIVAL! With Ancient Civilizations of East Asia, you will struggle to build, conquer, and most of all SURVIVE this epic clash of cultures and peoples on a map that stretches from Java to Japan, and from the shores of the Philippine Sea to the slopes of the Himalayas. It is a “Take That!” game, which simulates the historic forces, both natural and man-made, which so ravaged and stultified civilizations’ progress. —description from the publisher
