The game series History of the Ancient Seas focuses on centuries of peaceful cooperation as well as violent conflicts around the Mediterranean Sea. This medium-complexity boardgame highlights trade and warfare aspects as well as technological developments of this period. What is more, we are getting three titles here, each with completely different time period as well as number of players:

In HELLAS, the first instalment in the History of the Ancient Seas game series, you will lead one of the great City States – Athens or Sparta (two player game). DIES IRAE is a three player game. The challenge in a three player game is that gamers face a constant two versus one constellation. All three players have to fight on at least two fronts at the same time and have to keep a close eye on both opponents. Main actors are Greece, Persia and Egypt. In MARE NOSTRUM, the third and final installment in the “History of the Ancient Seas” game series, you will lead one of the great Empire: The Roman Empire, the Mighty Seafarers of Carthage, the Greek City States, Egypt or Persia (five player game)

Today I am presenting material which shows all the beautiful game components, describes some game concepts as well as points out differences between the three titles. More content to come!

Enjoy!
