Origins: First Builders is a medium-weight strategy game that combines a science-fiction theme of ancient civilizations with classic Eurogame mechanics. Players lead a civilization developing under the influence of extraterrestrials who have landed on Earth and help humanity build mighty structures while advancing in knowledge and power.
The game weaves together elements of:
- ancient history (building cities, temples, and towers),
- alien influence (spaceships acting as locations for gathering resources),
- and civilization development.
Players guide tribes that learn from extraterrestrials and construct impressive structures, such as monumental towers that symbolize progress and strength.
Dice represent workers of different colors and values. A higher value indicates a stronger worker. Players place dice on various locations on the board to gain resources, construct buildings, or advance on tracks. By combining different colors and tower heights, players score points. They also compete on multiple tracks (military, scientific, political), which provide bonuses and points. Food, gold, and other resources are used to activate actions and build.
If you're looking for a game that combines civilization building, strategic dice placement, and an ancient aliens theme, Origins: First Builders is an excellent addition to your collection. 🏛️👾📐
