Rio Grande Games 19 ユーザーズマニュアル

DESCRIPTION

ANTIKE is a challenging strategy game about the evolution and

competition of ancient civilizations. The name of the game in Ger-

man means "age of antiquity".
Ancient nations found cities, erect temples, sail the seas, do battle,

and make scientiﬁc progress. Their legions and galleys open new regi-

ons for settlement, and defend against the enemy. For action in two

diﬀerent ancient operational theaters, players choose a nation from

among the Greeks, Romans, Germanic tribes, Phoenicians, Cartha-

ginians, Persians, Arabs, Egyptians and Babylonians.
ANTIKE is not a game of conquest. The ancient nations do not

compete to establish the biggest kingdom. Instead, each nation tries to

win kings, scholars, generals, citizens and navigators over to its side.

The nation that succeeds in gaining a given number of ancient per-

sonages ﬁrst wins the game. Lead an ancient nation to victory! But

watch out for your enemies, who will try to destroy your temples!
ANTIKE, for 2 to 6 players aged 12 and up, is a fast-moving stra-

tegy game, rich in variety and with easy-to-follow rules. Winning

depends not on the luck of cards or dice, but on imaginative planning

and smart diplomacy.
Playing time: approx. 90 to 120 minutes.
