In this board game of ancient Greek and Phoenician colonization in the 8th to 7th centuries BCE, pilot your ship of colonists to an undiscovered Italian shore and establish colonies in fortuitous locations. Settle as soon as possible or pursue the ideal location. Establish close to others to enhance trade, or remain safe and remote. Re-invest to grow your colonies or pursue those of others. Send your ship home or use it in the new waters. Create more colonies or thrive safely behind strong walls. Negotiate the path between speedy growth and the disruption it causes.
A war game of building up a civilization including a modular board, variable powers and a rich set of heavily-researched cards providing special powers.
