	Description Edit \| History

In Assyria, each player will lead a tribe through the desert. The goal of each tribe is to survive (by gathering food cards) and to build wells and ziggurats. The game spans over three reigns, with a flood in between each reign. As usual, there will be many different strategies and many ways to score points!
