About the game
In Khôra: Rise of an Empire, each player is the head of a blossoming city-state in Ancient Greece. On your turn, you must take 2 of the following 7 Actions: Philosophy, Legislation, Culture, Trade, Military, Politics, or Development. Choose Actions that align with your strategy, but which also work with your dice roll. You will need to adapt your strategy constantly and strengthen your Actions by moving your markers up on your Economy, Culture, and Military Tracks. Move up on the Taxes Track to collect highly sought-after Drachmas, the Troop Track to Explore and gather Knowledge tokens, and the Glory Track to capitalize on your Knowledge. Unlock Achievements and, above all, make sure you have the most points at the end of the 9th Round to be crowned with the laurels of victory! —description from the publisher
