Description

The Ancient Phoenician Game of Cycles and Change: Rediscovered at Last

Since time immemorial, human nature has driven civilization along a never-ending cycle: Peace builds Industry, Industry creates Wealth, Wealth spawns Conflict, and Conflict yields to Peace.

The great Phoenicians were the first people to recognize that fighting the Cycle is pointless; rather, one must adapt to and flow with the change.

Known for the world’s first alphabet, it was actually their most beloved card game, Corniche, that allowed them to master the Cycle and spread it across the Mediterranean, thus conquering the known world.

Now, thanks to the work of anthropologists and translators at the University of North Sussex, the ancient game has been revitalized, rebalanced, and brought to the web for modern audiences to enjoy!


Note: Includes instructions and components to make Suit Rank Indicator. Requires standard deck of cards.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
