What this is
Send their villagers to work, travel, pray, and in death become a part of history. Paraphrased from Opinionated Gamer's review: Each player’s turn consists of taking a cube and then taking the action of the area they just took the cube from. Each player will take the reins of a family and have them find fame and glory in many different ways.
