Description

In Philosophia: Dare to be Wise, you'll embark on an epic adventure through ancient Greece, forging your destiny as one of the era's greatest thinkers. With 1 to 6 players, you'll navigate the world of city states and ancient wisdom, building schools, battling in public debates, and making deals with the Olympic Gods. Your goal is to gain three Labyrinth Tokens before the Roman era begins, and there are many paths to get there, from developing your ideas in temples to building a following in different regions. With a playtime of 45 to 120 minutes, Philosophia offers a rich and replayable experience, featuring a unique blend of auction, card drafting, and point-to-point movement mechanics. The game culminates in a tense final debate, where you'll use your accumulated wisdom to outmaneuver your opponents and prove yourself the greatest mind of the era, using a twist on the rock-paper-scissors mechanic to determine the ultimate winner.
