Description

Set in ancient Mesopotamia at a time when the location of Ur was a coastal region, players work to build the Great City of Ur, expand its districts, and establish themselves as powerful builders.

Welcome to the Great City of Ur, the coastal cradle of civilization! As a master architect, you will walk the five districts of the city, leaving your mark on the history of humankind. Your hand will mark the location of houses and shrines, and create great gardens that raise the prestige of the city - and your fame. You will make use of ships coming into the city to secure a constant flow of precious resources, and take advantage of the abilities they provide.

Above all, you will strategize to outsmart your ambitious opponents - to become the greatest builder of Ur!

On your turn, follow these steps:

 • Take a resource die from your current district, and move your Architect to where the number points to.

 • Perform 2 of 4 unique actions available in your district to start new projects, build houses, shrines and gardens or take control of ships in the port.
