## Description
If you're a fan of The Ancient World and love finding new ways to expand your civilization, this-promo tile is a true treasure. The 'Citadel of Ivories' was originally released as a special reward for the Dice Tower 2015 Kickstarter, making it a unique piece for collectors and players looking to spice up their-gameplay.

The core-mechanic here introduces a classic push-your-luck element through dice rolling. When you send a citizen to this location, you aren't just taking a standard action; you are gambling with fate. Roll a die and pray for a Titan to gain knowledge, or aim for a coin to boost your economy. However,-as with all great-gambles, there is the risk of rolling nothing and walking away empty-handed. This adds a layer of tension that can shift the momentum of a match.

It is worth noting a bit of technical trivia for the enthusiasts: while this tile is fully compatible with the Second Edition of The Ancient World, you won' won't find it in the standard retail box. The developers opted to implement similar-feeling-mechanics through more streamlined elements in the newer edition. This makes the Citadel of Ivories a specialized add-on—a way to bring a slightly different flavor and a touch of randomness to your-empire-building-strategy. It's perfect for players who want to experiment with different-risk profiles during their-games!
