Rival chroniclers shape a civilization’s legacy by writing trade, science, and industry into three evolving books for the most renown.

Gameplay

Score the most points by drafting page cards, adding them to your three books, and triggering their actions to gain resources and bonuses. The tension is in reading the draft and timing your builds so opponents don’t take the pages your plan needs.
