About this board game

Ziggurat is a cooperative legacy adventure for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. Across six chapters, you investigate an ancient, crumbling ziggurat and work together to overcome the challenges hidden within it.

The ziggurat has stood abandoned for centuries. Its colors have faded beneath wind and rain, vines cover its sides, and the village around it has dwindled. Yet something is stirring in its depths, and people have begun seeing fire spirits on the structure’s levels.

According to legend, a dragon once lived in the ziggurat, though that was hundreds of years ago. Now the elders are seeking volunteers to investigate. As you explore the site, you hope to discover whether the old legend still holds a spark of truth.

Ziggurat’s story unfolds over six chapters, with your decisions during play affecting the games that follow. The campaign is designed to evolve as the story progresses, creating a shared adventure shaped by the choices your group makes.

  • Cooperative play: Work together to complete each chapter’s challenges.
  • Legacy progression: Make permanent changes that affect future games.
  • Unfolding story: Discover new rules, materials, and pieces as the adventure continues.
  • Six-chapter campaign: Experience the mystery of the ziggurat across an ongoing narrative.

With its fading ruins, mysterious spirits, and legendary dragon, the game invites players to become heroes in a story that develops from one session to the next. The permanent additions and changes create a cooperative adventure you can play again and again.
