Minos: Dawn of the Bronze Age

Product detailed description

Become the leader of one of four legendary Minoan clans and shape the fate of a civilization that laid the foundation of European culture! In the sunlit world of ancient Crete, amidst majestic cities and the intricate halls of Knossos, you will compete for the prestigious title of Minos – the supreme ruler of the Minoan people.

Unlike other civilizations driven by war, the Minoans are renowned for their focus on peace and prosperity. Your mission is to build a powerful civilization through clever planning and effective governance, proving yourself worthy of the ultimate title!

As leaders of the clans, players will:

• Build cities, monuments, and trade routes.
• Strategically assign dice to action spaces via the clan council.
• Improve their options through research and development cards.
• Score points twice during the game based on their progress in key areas of civilization.
• Plan carefully to avoid conflict while achieving dominance.

The game’s unique mechanics revolve around dice placement: lower values enable stronger actions, while higher values allow faster progress on development tracks. The right balance of actions, infrastructure building, and adaptability to opponents is the key to victory.

Face mysterious Sea Peoples, construct lasting cities, and claim the title of Minos!
