Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age with Mediterranean Expansion

About this board game

Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age with Mediterranean Expansion is a 1–4 player civilization game that lets you build an Iron Age empire in about 30 minutes.

Develop your civilization by building provinces, raising armies, and conquering barbarians, or pursue trade by constructing ports and ships. You must also erect monuments, fend off disasters, and strive to feed your people as your empire grows.

The game offers distinct strategic directions inspired by the ancient Mediterranean. Explore the trade and naval strengths of the Phoenicians, the conquests of Alexander the Great, or the engineering prowess and gradual absorption of new provinces associated with the Roman Republic.
