Description

Get ready to build your ancient empire with Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age – The Mediterranean Expansion. This expansion, designed by Thomas Lehmann, adds a whole new layer of strategy to the base game, allowing you to establish overseas settlements and reap the rewards of colonialism. The game is designed for 1 to 4 players, making it perfect for solo players or small groups of friends, and can be played in just 30 to 45 minutes, so you can get in a few rounds in one sitting. The Mediterranean expansion introduces a central pegboard that all players share, where you'll compete to establish colonies in key locations like Crete, Spain, Carthage, and Gaul. Each of these colonies provides unique benefits, from building fleets to mining resources, and you'll need to balance your colonial ambitions with developments, monuments, and conquests back in your home empire. With the help of innovations from Syracuse and Alexandria, you'll be able to manage your resources and make strategic decisions to outmaneuver your opponents. The game mechanics of dice rolling and push your luck add an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability, making each playthrough unique and challenging. As you roll through the ages, you'll need to make tough decisions about which colonies to prioritize, which developments to pursue, and when to take risks to get ahead. With its normal complexity level, this game is easy to learn for fans of board games, but still offers enough depth to keep you engaged. First released in 2014 as part of the Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age game, the Mediterranean expansion is now available on its own, giving you the chance to experience the thrill of building a ancient empire and making your mark on history. Will you be able to build a powerful and prosperous empire that will be remembered for centuries to come? There's only one way to find out – start rolling and see where the ages take you.
