How did the legendary library of Alexandria burn?
Who is responsible for losing centuries of knowledge?
What ancient treasures survived the disaster?
In Alexandria you relive the ancient legend in a sandbox adventure eurogame, with an eclectic mix of mechanisms: set collection, time management, and action point allowance.
With 300+ components and 138 unique illustrations by Vincent Dutrait & Asterman Studio, Alexandria offers a new playing experience not commonly found in eurogames.
Centuries before the first universities, the internet and the modern era of scientific discovery there was the Great Library of Alexandria.
Created to store the world’s knowledge, its scribes would copy every book found on every ship that entered Alexandria, and would go on to accumulate untold volumes of history, mathematics, geography, politics and more.
Unfortunately, it was not to last. It was destroyed during the many conquests of Alexandria, and all that knowledge was lost forever.
We may never really know how it happened, but the compelling story of its destruction has inspired designer Babis Giannios & LudiCreations to publish this unconventional game. If you are looking for out-of-the-beaten-path board games with a strong euro feel, check out Alexandria on Kickstarter, available for only 48 more hours!
