Description

The fruitful region between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers has long been an area of conflict. It is no different now and was not different 5000 years ago. Neighboring rulers are constantly scheming and fighting, always looking for the upper hand in the region. Those with cunning, and a little luck can become famous; those without that, infamous or unknown to history. By taking his excellent board game to a card format, Reiner Knizia has simplified some aspects of the game, but it remains Knizia and Euphrates & Tigris! And with 200 cards and 16 wooden discs, it is more than just a card game!
