📖 About This Game
Explore the history of humanity through the ages with Along History, a civilization card game. Conquer territories, develop technologies, recruit historical figures, and compete with your friends to prevent their civilizations from thriving.
Each turn, players attempt to acquire cards using the same combination of dice. These cards will enable them to improve the technological, military or cultural aspects of their civilization, so as to advance on the Achievements board and reach the stage that will tip all civilizations into a new era. Virtually all the cards are unique and feature over 150 original illustrations, making the game highly replayable and immersive.
Players must fight against the calamities that threaten to destroy what they have built, or wage war to slow down other players and defend their own civilization. A game is played over one age of your choice (Prehistoric, Ancient, or Medieval), but you're free to link them together for longer games: your civilization will then benefit from a legacy acquired with each change of age.
The winner is the one who possesses the most impressive civilization at the end of the Age.
