Engage your entire class with this print-and-play game for 1-35+ players. Build a Mesopotamian city-state and fill it to the brim with canals, fields, oxen, chariots, houses, and, of course, ziggurats. But build wisely! The more crowded your city grows, the more important every decision becomes. Some items only score points in certain arrangements or by touching other items. Design your city-state in such a way that it will gain maximum points. Welcome to Crowded Kingdom: Ancient Civilization Edition!
