Patchistory: The Fabric of Ages

Description

Civilizations are built upon the technological innovations of past eras, the ambitions and ideas of people who left their mark on the course of time, and the social advancements demanded by each moment in history. Some of these events, structures, and ideas remain to this day, while others form part of the sediment that shapes our slice of History. In Patchistory: The Fabric of Ages, you will develop civilizations through an auction system where you acquire a series of tiles that will overlap and interweave, evoking the art of patchwork. Over the course of three eras, you will grow your population, produce, and manage the resources generated by your territory. You will explore beyond your borders, facing or allying with neighboring civilizations. Leaders will rise and fall, swept away by the tides of time. You will construct monuments that reflect the glory of your people—perhaps fleetingly. At the end of three eras, the player with the most Culture points wins the game, ensuring their civilization will never be erased from History. Patchistory: The Fabric of Ages reimplements the cult-classic Patchistory adding new variants to offer a quicker game without losing the deepness and fun of the original. Some minor adjustments are made to make a smoother experience and added a solitaire mode to this original approach to civilization games.
