Sammu-ramat

Sammu-ramat ruled the Assyrian Empire at a time of political uncertainty, which is one possible explanation for why the Assyrians may have accepted her rule, as normally a woman as a ruler would have been unthinkable. Her reign lasted between 811 BC and 808 BC. In this cooperative game you are the court of Sammu-ramat, along with the advisors surrounding the royal court and vassal states, trying to keep the Empire strong and protected against internal unrest, external threats, natural disasters and more. All players win or lose together. In this cooperative board game for 1 to 5 players, you are one of the advisors surrounding the Assyrian royal court. Each Advisor has their own abilities and strengths. Players spend actions to play action cards and move from one region to another along the paths printed on the board, trying to balance the needs of the regions (military, supplies, health and religion). In battle with enemy units they are removed 1:1, i.e. the combat is deterministic. On each Empire card there is a Scenario, with one or more victory conditions. The specific setup of the Scenario is on the back of the Empire card. Different victory scenarios increase the replayability of the game.
