In the board strategic game "Ancient Knowledge", you will create artifacts and build monuments to immortalize your knowledge for future generations. But nothing lasts forever, including your creations. To preserve as much knowledge as possible, you need to effectively combine your cards and make tough decisions. Try to prove to your opponents that you are the worthy keeper of ancient knowledge!
How to play?
Players receive a builder's tablet. Together with the empty spaces around it, they form a playing area consisting of 5 zones: above the tablet is the chronology zone, where monument cards are played; the zone to the left of the tablet – is the past, where monument cards go after some time passes. The 5 cells on the tablet itself are the artifact zone. To the right of the tablet, players store technology cards, and at the bottom left of the tablet is the fifth zone – the lost knowledge zone: all tokens received during the game are placed there.
There are 2 types of cards in the game: buildings and technologies. At the beginning of the game, each player receives 10 cards and decides which 6 to keep. The remaining 4 go to the discard pile. Now you are ready to build a great legacy!
