AESQ is a 4X board game that relies on deckbuilding mechanics. It is set in the Eastern Mediterranian during the Iron Age, in which all myths and believes of the time, like faeries, demons, witches and sorcerers, heroes and deities, are actual. The game is for 1 to 5 players with 5 starting factions. Each player begins with a core deck that upgrades by acquiring unit and action cards, deploys armies and expands their territory by exploration and conquest.
