Monuments - Deluxe Edition (EN)

From Keep Exploring Games:

Play as one of the ancient civilizations and start building your Monument!

In Monuments, you play as one of the ancient civilizations. These are the Greek, Egyptians, Mayan and Incas in the base game (2 more will be added to the 5-6 player expansion). It is your goal to build your Monument as fast you can, but you can’t neglect your empire and your people. The game ends after the round in which one player finishes their Monument, but only the player with the most Victory Points wins the game!

Monuments takes a different take on the civilization genre. There are no ages, no tech trees, advancement tracks, no long waits between turns, no 4 hour game, nor a 40 page rulebook. In Monuments, the focus is on building the Monuments instead. Each player has the same 10 action cards. A turn consists of one thing and one thing only. A player either plays and discards one of his 10 action cards, each with a simple and quick action, or takes all discarded action cards back inton their hand. This produces very little downtime between turns. A game plays in 60-120 minutes at about 30 minutes per player on average, depending on how familiar players are with the game and how much competition there will be in the end.

This Deluxe edition comes with up to 15 cm / 6 inch high plastic miniature Monuments, wooden resources and player pieces, and a deluxe insert with removable game trays for player pieces an resources.
