Ancient Knowledge: Heritage is an expansion for Ancient Knowledge released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 30–120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Rémi Mathieu and its main mechanics are Hand Management, End Game Bonuses, and Solo / Solitaire Game.
The Ancient Knowledge: Heritage expansion consists of two elements: 16 solo mode cards that allow you to play a campaign. You choose 1-5 objectives, placing them in the artifact slots on the player board (and thereby denying you the potential use of artifacts!), and whichever objectives you complete become powers that you can employ in future games. 36 new builder cards and 12 new technology cards that you can shuffle into the decks, making them 25% larger.
Ancient Knowledge: Heritage supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ancient Knowledge: Heritage is 30–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ancient Knowledge: Heritage for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ancient Knowledge: Heritage has a complexity rating of 2.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Ancient Knowledge: Heritage belongs to these categories: Card Game, Ancient, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, End Game Bonuses, and Solo / Solitaire Game.

The credited designers of Ancient Knowledge: Heritage are: Rémi Mathieu. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Ancient Knowledge: Heritage as an expansion for Ancient Knowledge. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Ancient Knowledge to use it. Check that your edition of Ancient Knowledge is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
