Description
In Assyria, you'll represent a tribe living in Mesopotamia, competing to develop and thrive in the desert and fertile areas between two rivers.

This game is all about balancing short-term gains with long-term investments, making for a fun and strategic experience. As you play, you'll collect resources, expand on the board, and make investments to earn points and money. The game is divided into three eras, each with cycles of expansion, investment, and scoring. With its unique blend of hand management, hexagon grid, and worker placement mechanics, Assyria offers a engaging and challenging experience for 2 to 4 players. With a playtime of 45 to 90 minutes, it's a great option for those looking for a substantial yet accessible game.
