Feed cities and resolve disasters, if any.The player then collects the goods and food earned by the dice rolled. A player can reroll as many dice as they want up to two more times however, any dice rolled with a skull are locked and cannot be rerolled.

Lack of inclusion of The Late Bronze Age expansion – although this reprint that was shipped after the creation of the original Late Bronze Age print and play expansion, it was not included in the game.The six sided dice – The dice were also made of wood and their iconography was easy to understand.The wooden boards – they were useful for tracking goods and food, but they are simply four wooden boards with holes and minimal art.Finally, it included plenty of sheets so that you do not have to run to Kinkos to make more copies….do people do that anymore? It was easy to understand and summarized what was needed in a succinct way.

The extra time that the expansion adds is more than worth it as I will explain later. The game base game takes 30 – 40 minutes, but increases to 45 minutes to an hour with the expansion. It is a more complicated gamers version of Yahtzee, rerolls and all. RTtA is a dice rolling game for one to four players who are competing to build the best civilization in the history of humanity. Going forward, I will abbreviate the game as RTtA.
