The Awakening
Lay the foundations of empire. Gather stone, papyrus, and coin from the first tier of the pyramid.
A Two-Player Battle in Antiquity
Rivalist
Raise monuments from ruin. Lead legions into your rival's streets. Outlast your foe across three ages of strategy. Fans of two-player drafting games like Seven Wonders Duel will pick this up in five minutes.
The Three Ages
A battle that unfolds in chapters
Each game moves through three ages of escalating stakes. What you build in Age I pays dividends when the swords come out.
The Ascent
Forge your strategy — march legions to the border, or raise libraries that outpace your rival in science.
The Reckoning
Unleash unions and purple cards. One misstep and your capital falls to the sword.
Three Paths to Victory
Win your way. Or lose a dozen.
Civilian, scientific, or military — every route ends with your rival kneeling. Choose poorly and you'll be the one kneeling.
⚔
Path of the Sword
March your armies nine paces into your rival's capital and the war ends instantly.
☼
Path of Wisdom
Collect six unique science symbols to claim absolute knowledge — and instant victory.
♛
Path of Glory
Outbuild your rival in monuments, temples, and coin. Tally the points when the third age ends.
The Monuments
Architecture worth dying for
Drafted before the first card falls. Each monument bends the rules in your favor — steal coins, seize science tokens, or simply take another turn.
