Build your Roman colony in the Mediterranean, trade and engage with the Great Harbor of Carthage, construct mighty trading ships to trade with the cities along the Mediterranean, and fight the Cilician pirates in this dice drafting, worker placement game for 1-4 players! In The Great Harbor, you play as a powerful Roman governor of a Mediterranean colony. The game is played over multiple rounds where players will draft dice from a common dice pool, and will use those dice as workers to place them on the tiles of the Great Harbor to play the corresponding actions. In order to place a die on a certain slot, the die must match the color of the slot of the tile. The die power (ranging from 1 to 6) will determine the strength of your action on that tile. Once someone places a die on a slot, that slot is taken, and no other dice may be placed there until the end of the round. The actions that can be played include: gaining resources that are important for shipbuilding, scheduling workers to work on building the ships, increasing your colony capacity to dock ships and population, sending your ships to trade along the Mediterranean and be on the lookout for pirates, hire special workers and diplomats and more. The game ends after six rounds after which victory points from the constructed ships, buildings, senate influence, and objectives are then calculated, and the player with the most points is the winner of the game and proclaimed the most powerful governor of the Mediterranean! -description from the publisher
