History of the World Board GameDescriptionSpecificationsShipping History of the World retells the story of humanity, starting from ancient Sumeria and ending with modern day USA. The map emphasises those lands where civilisations flourished. Over sixty peoples feature on Empire and Event cards. Capitals, cities, monuments and forts are brought into play and then, just as quickly, are reduced by the armies of rivals. Control of buildings and lands enables players to collect gold.
