Pergamon 2nd Edition

Pergamon is an exciting tactical collecting game set in 1878. The game's theme revolves around archaeological excavations in modern - day Turkey. Precious ancient remains are being unearthed, and soon these discoveries will be shown in public exhibitions abroad, bringing honor and glory. Players use a bidding mechanism to get federal research grants for excavation costs. Those who are more modest can reach the excavation sites before others. It's a 'first - come, first - dig' rule, leaving only fragments for later expeditions. Recovered treasures are put in valuable exhibitions, and discoverers gain glory. After 12 rounds, the player with the most glory wins. The mix of fundraising and competing for the best excavation spots makes Pergamon a highly variable game with easy - to - understand rules. Players must make choices based on available funds and digging order.

To play Pergamon, start by using the bidding mechanism to try and get federal research grants. Once you've got the funds, decide where to go for excavation. Remember, being more modest in your requests can let you reach the sites before your competitors. As you uncover treasures, place them in exhibitions to gain glory. Play for 12 rounds, and the one with the most glory at the end wins. When it comes to maintenance, keep the game components in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. Also, handle the cards and pieces gently to avoid wear and tear. Make sure to follow the 'first - come, first - dig' rule strictly during the game to keep things fair.
