Description
Lead one of the elder peoples of Altay and face the arrival of human settlers in the lands of your ancestors. Decide whether to embrace their innovations or preserve ancient traditions, while expanding your realm, nurturing knowledge, building monuments or defeating your enemies. Altay - Dawn of Civilization is a deck-building civilisation game set in a mythical age. In a secluded region within a vast continent, four mysterious societies have cultivated different cultures for countless years, maintaining a fragile balance. Now they face a new challenge: an influx of human settlers with advanced crafts and weapons. As the leader of one of the elder peoples of Altay, you choose how to respond to this challenge.
The game board shows the region where the four factions clash, with each area featuring different terrain types and resources. Players control one of the four factions, each represented by a unique starting deck that differs in its number of "basic" and faction-specific cards. On each turn, players use their cards to generate resources, found new settlements, expand across the board, manoeuvre against their opponents or acquire new cards to expand their decks, symbolising the integration of the elder peoples with the newcomers and their crafts.
