About this board game

Ancient Knowledge is a strategic card game for 2–4 players, with an approximately 75-minute play time, in which you build monuments and artefacts to preserve your civilization’s knowledge.

You are the heir to an exceptional legacy, but time is your only enemy. Your constructions are ephemeral, so every decision matters as you seek to pass on knowledge before the monuments you create begin to decline.

Build your legacy by combining the many cards at your disposal and searching for the best synergies. The challenge is to make the right choices while the passage of time threatens the survival of your achievements.

  • Erect monuments and build artefacts.
  • Combine cards to discover powerful synergies.
  • Preserve knowledge before your constructions decline.
  • Compete to become the cleverest builder across the ages.

Your monuments draw inspiration from emblematic sites found across the globe, including Mexican pyramids, the Sphinx of Giza, and the famous cities of Tiwanaku and Babylon. These enduring symbols of human achievement give your civilization a fitting stage on which to build its legacy.

In Ancient Knowledge, victory belongs to the worthy representative of a legacy: the builder who can pass down knowledge before time erases it. Will your monuments withstand the trial of time?
