About

"The human lot is to always choose the lesser of two evils." - Aristotle With Ruins, your civilizations are on the decline. Will you restore your previous glory or will people come and visit your city for its ruins? With this expansion, enjoy a new type of gameplay and adapt your strategy. Will you take advantage of the decline of your enemies while rebuilding your empire? The Ruins work similar to Leaders. Players will draft 4 Ruins cards at the beginning of the game. Each player than immediately puts 3 Ruin cards into play at the beginning of the game before any other cards are played. The Ruins give each player more difficulties to overcome while building their Wonder. Some Ruin cards have some penalties for building a certain color structures, a certain symbol, or a certain configuration of cards. Some constructions will cost more, some buildings will be destroyed, but greatness can rise from the Ruins.
