The young, up-and-coming Roman kingdom needs a wide variety of things, but the one thing the big towns need above all the others is drinking water.

So experienced master builders and diligent workmen set about errecting mighty aquaducts to provide the people with water.

Use your skill to make sure that your workmen have access to the necessary master builders at all the times and are able to build the longest water system. However, all your achievements will receive less attention if the other players manage to transport the same amount of water to the town.

In accordance with the farmer's rules of ancient Roman provinces, players settle the fertile land with their houses. However, even the most luxurious houses are worthless without a reliable water supply. If a player does not supply his houses with water before the region they are in is completely developed, the residents – good or bad – must leave and the house does not hear the player any points.

The player who best uses clever tactics – along with a little luck – to place wells and canals at the right time while securing the best building spaces, will outmaneuver their opponents and win the game!

Each player is the owner of a water zoo. Each player tries to lure as many visitors as possible into his water zoo and earns points for the visitors that visit his zoo.

When a player’s animal basins are full, he must place additional animals into his depot, which loses him points at game end.

More than 2500 years ago, the emperor of the Qin dynasty decided to protect his prolific provinces of northern China from the frequent barbaric invasions, building and joining several fortified fortresses. So he made an impressive series of defensive walls that stretch for over 6000 kilometres. Armies of slaves and soldiers worked for centuries following and taking advantage of the terrain. Later, the Great Wall, as it was called, was extended and fortified, until it needed an army of a million of men to defend and maintain it. Its decline coincided with the advent of the Mongols, that later ruled the widest empire of human history. They broke the wall and moved around it, conquering the whole Chinese empire. Today the ruins represent one of the most remarkable works produced by men: Chang Cheng™, the Great Chinese Wall.

Cleopatra & the Society of Architects is a fun and engaging family game that includes a true, three-dimensional palace that players compete to build. Players strive to become the wealthiest of Cleopatra’s architects by constructing the most magnificent and valuable parts of her palace.

Players, however, will be tempted to deal with shady characters and trade in materials of dubious origins in order to help them build faster. While these corrupt practices might allow an architect to stay a step ahead of the rest, they come with a high price – cursed Corruption Amulets honoring Sobek, the Crocodile-god. When Cleopatra finally strolls into her new palace, at the end of the game, the most corrupt architect (the one with the most amulets) will be seized and offered as a sacrifice to her sacred crocodile! Only then will the wealthiest architect, from among those still alive, be selected and declared the winner of the game.

Your rivals may try to thwart you by sabotaging your pyramid with inferior stones, by demolishing your constructed levels or by releasing scarabs at your construction sites to scare away your workers.

The hanging gardens were one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, as all history courses teach. But, did they actually exist? Nothing remains of their reported splendor, which was built for the eyes of Amyitis.

A Keythedral is being built in the fields near Keytown, in the middle of the Keydom. The inhabitants of Keyland will gather the resources with which to build the Keythedral from the surrounding fields.

The Keythedral will be built in five stages and each stage will require different building materials. In the early stages simple materials will be needed, as the building nears completion, more specialized materials will be needed. Throughout the development period the builders will require food and water and, if they are lucky, the builders will also receive some wine.

The architect keeps changing his mind as to the design of the new Keythedral. As a result the resources which are now required from the workers has changed.

This bonus sheet of 8 new building tiles (worth 12 victory points each) are the perfect expansion for players that want a more unusual mix of resources and want to introduce a slightly more unpredictable scramble to the end of the game.

Building boom in Manhattan! But not only there! Sky-scrapers are springing up all around the world.

In medieval times, famous masons competed to build the most beautiful and impressive cities. As we can see from what they left behind, they were perfectionists, but each had his own ideas about the best ways to design cities. Stately government buildings stand next to noble palaces with massive walls and guard towers surrounding the city to protect it from its enemies.

In this beautiful game, the players take the rules of these master masons of old. At the beginning of the game, the board is empty, but quickly fills with houses, palaces, towers, and walls. The guild cards help guide the masons in their building and the special dice offer them the materials they need.

Each player decides where to build his houses and palaces. Whenever walls enclose a city, it is scored.

The game will determine which mason makes the best use of his materials and guild cards. But that will not be known until the final scoring, when the final scoring is complete and the players learn which of them has scored the most points to earn the victory as the greatest mason! At least for this game!

Mason - no walls, no power!

Rudi Hoffmann's inspiration for Ramparts came from the great medieval towers of San Gimignano built in the Tuscany region of Italy. Now known as "The Manhattan of the Middle Ages", San Gimignano was home to 72 large towers during the 12th and 13th Centuries, only 15 of which remain standing today. These towers were originally built to offer powerful families protection from gangs and competing families of the aristocracy. However, over time, the towers became symbols of status, prestige and power, so much so that it was decreed that none may be built exceeding the height of the City Hall.

Ramparts recreates this era by allowing you to participate in a tower-building competition against one to three other nobles. Your goal is to stack tiles bearing various coats of arms (symbols of aristocracy) into tall towers and maneuver them into the most prestigious districts in town. However, you must be careful with the towers’ construction - just as in the San Gimignano of old, your towers are not allowed to grow too high, and only the family with a coat of arms in their color on top of the tower will earn prestige. The noble who has built the most impressive collection of towers at the end of the game wins!
