About the game
It’s the dawn of the Roman Eggpublic, and the Pondifex has tasked you with leading a city of the Eggpublic into the new age. Exploit the local resources and build a productive economy to turn your riverside village into a prestigious metropolis. Will you build a thriving city of trade, or awe the world with the might of your military? Will you build a luxurious urban centre, or will you strive to please the gods with marvelous monuments? In Aqueducks, you decide your legacy. At the end of each era, your city is besieged by Gallic tribes, and you are forced to rebuild. With each passing Era you will utilise the latest Roman innovations to construct larger, grander , more resilient cities on the old foundations. Plant vineyards, open bathhouses, build palisade walls, and commission the Colosseum. Build a city that suits your style and earn the favour of the Pondifex. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Aqueducks supports 1–6 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 Aqueducks is 60–120 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 Aqueducks for ages 10 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.
Aqueducks has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
