Avalong Hill History of The World

This game traces the rise and fall of empires from the dawn of civilization to the threshold of modern time. You'll lead a different empire in each of the game's seven epochs. Seize as much of the world as possible during each reign.

History of the World is a 3 to 6 player game that re-creates the major empires of the world through 7 Epochs (rounds), starting with ancient Sumeria and ending with World War I. During an Epoch, each player plays an empire trying to assert its might. Empires expand, then slowly fade during later Epochs.
