Tigris & Euphrates is set in the ancient fertile crescent with players building civilizations through tile placement. Players are given four different leaders: farmer, trader, priest, and king. The leaders are used to collect various victory points throughout the game.
However, your score at the end of the game is the number of points in your weakest category, so you must develop your civilization in as balanced a way as possible.
Conflict arises when kingdoms connect and leaders clash on the board, with only one leader of each type surviving.
With stunning HD graphics and trademark attention to detail and theme, this latest offering from developer and publisher Sage Board Games makes it simple and entertaining to play a quick game of Tigris & Euphrates with your friends or by yourself -- no matter where you are!
Combining deep strategy with an intuitive and beautiful visual presentation, Tigris draws you into the ancient world of kingdoms and monuments and will bring you back for more, time and time again.
With no setup time required, no pieces to lose, and no arguments about the rules, the future of board games is here and Tigris & Euphrates gives you exactly what you want -- to play!

Customer Reviews
Fun game
But they should take the hint helper away when playing real people.
Great game
Last update fixed the problems I had
Tigress and ....
Great board game! Slows down a little too much online and sometimes doesn't show the outcome of wars and revolts. But very fun and much easier to play than the tutorial makes out....
