About the game
What you do in a play session
Millennia: Tracks of Time is a civilization game that takes players through eight distinct eras, from antiquity to a near‑future setting. Each age offers a set of technology, building, and wonder cards that players can choose via an open draft, but actions are still selected simultaneously to keep the game unpredictable. What truly sets the game apart is the obsolescence mechanic: cards you acquire only remain useful for one to four ages, so you must plan and adapt your strategy each round. The ultimate goal is to accumulate the most fame, translating into victory points after the eight cycles. With over 300 cards and 200 illustrations, the game's visual journey spans history, featuring everything from pyramid construction to the first space shuttle. Players also manage income, build engine components, and leverage end‑game bonuses to secure victory. The game runs from 30 to 120 minutes depending on player count, and a solo mode keeps the challenge alive when you’re playing alone. If you enjoy games that blend drafting, engine building, and a dash of history, Millennia offers a replayable, strategic experience that will test your adaptability.
