Heirs to an exceptional knowledge that has survived the ages, it is now up to you to preserve the vestige of your civilization. Ancient Knowledge is a strategic card game in which you erect monuments and build artefacts to pass on your knowledge. Time will make your constructions ephemeral,so make the right decision and combine the many cards at your disposal, because all knowledge is doomed to disappear… It's up to you to find the best synergy so that you can pass down knowledge before the decline of the emblematic monuments you have constructed, monuments we still find nowadays in the four corners of the globe. From Mexican pyramids to the Sphinx of Giza, passing through the famous cities of Tiwanaku and Babylon, only the cleverest builder will shine through the ages and seize victory. In this game, your only enemy is time. Prove to your opponents that you are the worthy representative of your Legacy! Will your monuments withstand the trial of time? —description from the publisher

My BGG Comment
SPIEL 2023. Combotastic card game. Plays up to 4. Worked well at 2 but except for a few take that cards little interaction. you’re in your tableau pushing you’re cards… the idea that you want to get your monuments into the graveyard and need to pick off the little knowledge tokens before that happens is really neat. You can get some permanent powers in the form of artifacts and there are various strategies around the 3 types of other monuments and a shared market for “tech”. It is not a huge box, it is currently in my shopping cart because I like combos.
