## Description

ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE - Heirs to an exceptional knowledge that has survived the ages, it is now up to you to preserve the vestiges of your civilization. Ancient Knowledge is a strategic card game in which you erect monuments and build artifacts to pass on your knowledge. Time will make your constructions ephemeral, so make the right decisions and combine the many cards at your disposal, because all knowledge is doomed to disappear... You are the oldest builders of this world, the last heirs of an illustrious civilization. Use your knowledge to ensure that its greatness endures over time! Optimize the synergy of your cards and build amazing monuments to commemorate the glory of your civilization. Earn maximum victory points and prove yourself worthy of your famous ancestors. From the Mexican pyramids to the Sphinx of Giza, passing through the famous cities of Tiwanaku and Babylon, only the most skillful of builders will be able to cross the ages and achieve victory. Acquire new technology. Create the best combinations. Transmit your knowledge before your monuments disappear otherwise all lost knowledge will be penalized at the end of the game. At the end of each turn, all your monuments must slide to the left on your game board, gradually declining, until they reach the past, making you regret all that lost knowledge. When a player has at least 14 monuments in his past, the game ends. Will your monuments stand the test of time?

Review: Interesting and strategic game - This game can be played on a number of levels. Serious gamers will find ways to extend this game to their advantage. But you can just as easily end the game as soon as you have reached your goal. This is a bit more complicate than most family board games but it still is at the lower end of medium weight strategy games. It has great cards and a great game mechanic. This game combines engine building and card collecting with actual educational fun. Play is simple and boils down to 5 steps. You can : Create: Play a card from your hand Learn: Take tech card from the display Archive: Discard cards Excavate: Way to get rid of older cards Search: Draw a new card Give it a few playthroughs before you decide whether or not to add it to your collection. It definitely gets better the more you understand what you need to do. I only play solo, so it took me about three games before I looked forward to playing it again. I found myself thinking about strategies throughout the day. Have fun!
Review: An interesting game - So far I've only played solo to learn the mechanics. It provides some interesting and unique mechanics I'm looking forward to playing with some opponents.
