Mesopotamia – at the origins of civilization
In Mesopotamia, you are not just a player: you are the guardian of the first cities in history, called upon to lead your people through discoveries, conflicts, and alliances . From the fertile heartland between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, you take control of the fate of legendary civilizations such as the Sumerians, Babylonians, Akkadians, and Elamites , and transform them from hidden villages into immortal powers.
Every game is an epic journey : the modular board expands, new events shape the map, and your choices decide whether to make deals, trade, develop technologies, or wage war. Grow from era to era, build wonders like the Hanging Gardens , and leave your mark on human history.

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Lead a legendary civilization
Choose from Babylonians, Elamites, Akkadians, or Sumerians , each with unique abilities and historical roots that influence your playstyle.
2. Explore and tackle events
The modular, double-layered map and hidden event markers make every game different: discover new lands, face difficult choices, and experience twists that can unite or tear civilizations apart.
3. Unlock and enhance actions
As the game progresses, you gain more and more options: Build, Research, Farm, Gather, Trade, or wage war . As the game progresses, these actions become more powerful, increasing the strategic tension.
4. Balance diplomacy and conflict
You can make alliances or break them in an instant: your decisions have direct consequences for the balance of the ancient world. Collaborate or dominate? The choice is yours.
5. Whoever leaves the greatest legacy wins
The game culminates with the construction of the Hanging Gardens , marking the end of the race. Whoever has accumulated the most victory points will be remembered as the true architect of Mesopotamian greatness.
A civilization game that offers epic experiences
From the Babylonians to the Sumerians: you write history, turn by turn.
Mesopotamia – At the Origins of Civilization
The sun rises over the fertile plains between the Tigris and Euphrates. Early settlements become cities, cities become empires, and your choices will determine whether your people are remembered as legends or forgotten in the sands of time.
In Mesopotamia, you don't just build temples and hanging gardens: you forge the very destiny of humanity . Alliances are forged, conflicts flare up, inventions change the course of events. Are you ready to be the true architect of civilization?
You're not playing a game: you're founding the world as we know it.
Mesopotamia is a strategic civilization board game for 1–6 players , with games lasting 60–120 minutes.
Choose between Sumerians, Babylonians, Elamites, and Akkadians , each with unique abilities, and lead your people on a journey of research, trade, agriculture, warfare, and the construction of wonders. Thanks to the modular, double-layered board and hidden events , each game changes radically, ensuring high replayability and strategic depth . It's ideal as a competitive management board game , but also shines in solitaire mode, for those who want to experience the evolution of civilization without compromise.
Every action becomes more powerful 🐸
The unique thing about Mesopotamia is that your actions are never the same: every choice you make makes that action stronger in subsequent turns . Building, trading, researching, or fighting is never static: it's a crescendo of possibilities, forcing you to plan not just your next move but the entire fate of your civilization.
And as the match reaches its climax, the Hanging Gardens emerge on the horizon as a sign of the end: only those who have managed to balance long-term vision and tactical skill will truly dominate history.
