New Rules for Roll Through the Ages
Matt Leacock has released new rules for Roll Through the Ages that add more developments to the game and increases the playing time. The Late Bronze Age, as this version is dubbed, doesn’t end until one player acquires seven developments or all of the monuments have been built.
New developments include Preservation, which allows you to spend pottery to double your food, and Shipping, which lets you build ships from wood and cloth, then use those ships to trade goods for other goods. To adjust for these changes, some existing developments, such as Medicine and Religion, have had their costs and values altered. Every monument can be built in the Late Bronze Age, no matter how many players are in the game. New score sheets that incorporate all of these changes are available for download on the rules page.

Sweet. I love this game, now I have a bit more to extend it! Posted by Matt J. Carlson on Jun 29, 2009 at 09:30 PM | #

These look very interesting. It remains to be seen if the new gameplay justifies the increased duration, but many people think this is a game that could stand to last a bit longer, so I’m hopeful this will kill two birds with one ^H^H^Hspearhead, uh, stone. The new scoresheets look great and should make switching to the new rules a breeze. I certainly intend to use this variant the next time we play and hope it will make it easier to get this game on the table. Thanks, Matt (and Gryphon Games, too)!
