Rival leaders in ancient Africa build trade networks to deliver ritual goods and raise monuments to their chosen gods before anyone else reaches their victory threshold.

Gameplay

Build craftsmen and roads on the map, claim gods and technologies, and deliver goods through networks to raise your monuments to the winning height. Every choice is a knife fight over scarce space and timing, because growth makes your finish line farther away and opponents can profit from your infrastructure.
