Use your knowledge to ensure that its greatness endures through time! Maximise the synergy of your cards and build amazing monuments to commemorate the glory of your civilisation. Earn maximum victory points and prove yourself worthy of your famous ancestors. With each turn, all of your monuments are getting closer to the inevitable: falling into the past. It's up to you to find the best synergy to be able to pass on the knowledge before the decline of the iconic monuments you built. From the Mexican pyramids to the Sphinx of Giza, and the famous cities of Tiwanaku and Babylon, only the most skilful builder will be able to cross the ages and win. In this game, your only enemy is time. At the end of each round, 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? Ancient Knowledge is suitable for two to four players, aged 12 and up with a playing time of 60 to 120 minutes. Safety Warning Not suitable for children under 36 months. Review: Very clever - I love the element of timing in this game, playing monuments to get their benefits but they decay over time. The game is a race and when played that way it zips along but if people don't push the endgame it can take a while. Very fun combo building makes this really fun. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 10 months. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
