This is the first of 3 games from the Swiss company SOUND OF DRUMS. So we are back in Ancient Greece and the Aegean Sea shores to Sicily. THINK CIVILIZATION - it is a build up and out game. It is a 1-2 player game and the box is GIANT. 17”x13”x3.5” and weighing 6.5 pounds. Wooden pieces - check out the photos. Shipping is included in the USA. From BGG: “Very nice game with some innovative concepts such as the action selection track. Great quality of components, and design. Well written rulebook, easy to play. Only played once, but will be one of those games that will hit the table more often.”
