Mare Mediterraneum (1989)

About this game

In the ancient lands along the Mediterranean, players attempt to satisfy their unique victory conditions via trade, war and construction. This lavishly produced game contains tons of wooden game components and a beautiful roll-out vinyl map. Players produce a score of different commodities to trade with other cities in the hope of creating enough income to fill their capitals with buildings, produce artwork, and fill warehouses with goods.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
