At the dawn of time, stone age civilizations are scattered across the land, each one struggling for survival. However, the spark of civilization has been ignited and cannot be extinguished. Ideas and inventions are spreading like wild fire across the continent and civilizations are taking their first steps towards building a modern society. Lead your people through conflicts as they strive to master world-altering advancements such as writing, roadbuilding, seafaring and more, always working towards the final goal of flight.

In Tempus, every decision is challenging, as your culture clashes with your opponents' while time marches inexorably on. Building ciites, expanding population and wars with other empires are ever-present challenges. Each era of history presents you with new inovations, which beg to be mastered.

Success in Tempus is defined by the player who can build the greatest civilization. If your civilization also manages to conquer the skies you will likely domiante the world, and win the game.

Reviews Review Game

Review
QUite a bit of hype went ahead of this games release, saying it was civilsation-lite (civilisation is an old Avalon Hill game that lasts hours). SO was it worth the wait?

The game is about controlling an island that the players build up from tiles at the start of the game. The game is divided into eras, and each era you can do a number of actions. The number of actions you can do depends on the era you are in. For example at the start of the game you get to do 3 actions and as you progress through the game this increases to six.

The actions are
Move a token - this is how yoiu move around the board
Have Babies - This is how yo increas e your population
Have a Fight - This is how you expand which is neatly done
Have an Idea - Lets you draw an Idea card which gives benefits during play
Build A City - Lets you convert your nomads into a city
The game lasts for 10 turns and whoever has the most victory points wins

I really enjoy this Martin Wallace game - it is lighter than his others with a well written rulebook. The rules work well with the mechanics of the game to give an enjoyable game playable in about 2 hours.
