“Simple deck building game with a board element.
The market of cards is always the same one, most of them to generate more basic resources in a more efficient way. Some let you put control markers on the board more easily (towns).
The twist comes in the technology and monument cards. The make you better or set a course for your gameplay style for the game.
The gameplay is prety much friendly to everyone, there are enough technology cards for everyone (one per player, and you can not have more than one of the same name). There is combat, it basically lets take control tokens out of the board, you simply compare attack simbols against defense ones. Whoever wins, gets one piece from the oponent.
It is fast; the game ends once you do not have more pieces left. You score for spaces controlled on the board, cards and monuments (tech level 3 basically).”
