Sumeria

In Sumeria, we travel back in time to command the city-states of ancient Mesopotamia. The goal is to make your city shine brighter than the others by sending a multitude of traders there and increasing its influence. But beware: every time one city rises, another falls, so the game is about balance and timing. The ultimate objective is to manage to dominate the most important cities when scoring occurs, which happens at the end of each dynasty. You need to think carefully about where and when to place your merchants, as a city's fortune can change very quickly. Sumeria is an abstract strategy game with a historical touch, where area control and set collection set the tone. It requires players to keep an eye on opponents' movements and plan their steps in advance. With quick games and accessible rules, it's a great choice for those who enjoy a good strategic challenge without fuss. The art and components, despite being simpler, do a good job of transporting us to this fascinating era. If you like games that make you think and plan every move, Sumeria might be your next acquisition!
