Featuring 189 unique cards and a 30-minute per player playtime, it challenges players aged 12+ to master synergy and timing in a compact, beautifully illustrated package. ## Description Product Description You are the oldest builders of this world, the last heirs of an illustrious civilisation. Use your knowledge to ensure that its greatness endures through time! Maximise the synergy of your cards and build amazing monuments to commemorate the glory of your civilisation. Earn maximum victory points and prove yourself worthy of your famous ancestors. With each turn, all of your monuments are getting closer to the inevitable: falling into the past. It's up to you to find the best synergy to be able to pass on the knowledge before the decline of the iconic monuments you built. From the Mexican pyramids to the Sphinx of Giza, and the famous cities of Tiwanaku and Babylon, only the most skilful builder will be able to cross the ages and win. In this game, your only enemy is time. At the end of each round, all your monuments must slide to the left on your game board, gradually declining until they reach the past, making you regret all that lost knowledge. When a player has at least 14 monuments in his past, the game ends. Will your monuments stand the test of time? Ancient Knowledge is suitable for two to four players, aged 12 and up with a playing time of 60 to 120 minutes.

Serious gamers will find ways to extend this game to their advantage. But you can just as easily end the game as soon as you have reached your goal.This is a bit more complicate than most family board games but it still is at the lower end of medium weight strategy games. It has great cards and a great game mechanic. This game combines engine building and card collecting with actual educational fun.Play is simple and boils down to 5 steps. You can :Create: Play a card from your handLearn: Take tech card from the displayArchive: Discard cardsExcavate: Way to get rid of older cardsSearch: Draw a new cardGive it a few playthroughs before you decide whether or not to add it to your collection. It definitely gets better the more you understand what you need to do. I only play solo, so it took me about three games before I looked forward to playing it again. I found myself thinking about strategies throughout the day. Have fun! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting game *by on Reviewed in the United States 3 November 2024* So far I've only played solo to learn the mechanics. It provides some interesting and unique mechanics I'm looking forward to playing with some opponents. ## Frequently Bought Together - IELLO: Ancient Knowledge - Strategy Card Game, Tableau Building, Ages 12+, 2-4 Players, 30 Min Per Player - Monumental - Civilization & Deckbuilding Board Game, Adults & Family, Ages 10+, 2-4 Players - Geek Attitude Games Bruxelles 1893 Including Belle Epoque Expansion - Worker Placement & Bidding Strategy Board Game, Ages 14+, 2-5 Players --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/565708547-iello-ancient-knowledge-board-game-ages-12-2-4-players](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/565708547-iello-ancient-knowledge-board-game-ages-12-2-4-players) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
