Take control of one of four different civilizations - Egypt, Persia, Rome, or the Abbasid Caliphate - each with its own unique deck and abilities. Your goal is to lead your culture to fame and glory through conquered provinces or building cards. Each of the multi-use cards presents you with an important decision: Do you use them for resources, for your military, to build important buildings, or to play unique leaders? The decision is yours! Two players compete to grow the most influential civilization. The game emphasizes quick decision-making and offers a unique blend of tactical depth and engaging player interaction. With a focus on strategic competition via efficient gameplay, Rising Cultures is an essential new component of Capstone's two-player line of games with something for everyone.
