History of the World

History of the World retells the story of humanity, starting from ancient Sumeria and ending with modern day USA. The map emphasizes those lands where civilizations flourished, with over sixty peoples featuring on Empire and Event cards. Capitals, cities, monuments and forts are brought into play and then, just as quickly, reduced to dust by the armies of rivals. 

This version of History of the World is a new edition, and has the following differences from the one that came before:

• With or without dice rules
• Distribution of Empire cards and Event cards
• New Event cards
• Gold collection mechanics
• New “Area tokens” strategy
• New “Honor tokens” provide benefits
• New player array

However, though there are many changes, one of the objectives has been to keep the spirit of the game intact and to incorporate elements that had featured from the very earliest versions of the game, as well as later useful developments. So, while this version of History of the World has some differences, it is just as fun to play as the edition that came before it!
