"Card game for 2-6 players. Each player takes the role of a prominent citizen of a newly founded Greek Colony. Players make money (Drachmas) by trading goods at the market (Agora). They then use this money to construct the important buildings of their Fledgling City State." The game includes two card decks, the Agora Deck and the Build Deck. The 48 card Agora Deck contains cards representing goods that can be traded in the marketplace. There are four cards for each of the twelve types of commodities. The 15 card Build Deck contains cards from the three types of Construction Categories: Military, Civic, and Religious. "The game ends when all 15 cards of the Build deck have been claimed. At the end of the game, the player who has the highest score in the most Construction Categories wins."
