Description

In Babel, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure through ancient civilizations, competing against your opponent to build the tallest temples and claim victory. With easy-to-learn rules, this 2-player game is perfect for a fun and engaging 45 to 60 minute play session. You'll navigate a small game board representing regions of 5 ancient civilizations, using cards and stone figures to outmaneuver your opponent. As you play, you'll collect and place tribe cards in sets to unlock powerful skills and abilities, such as forcing your opponent to discard half their hand or destroying their temples.

Your goal is to build 15 points of temples before your opponent reaches 10, or be the first to reach 20 points to win the game.
