In Rising Cultures, you take control of one of four different civilizations - Egypt, Persia, Rome, or the Abbasid Caliphate - each with its own unique deck and abilities. Your goal is to lead your culture to fame and glory through conquered provinces or building cards. Each of the multi-use cards presents you with an important decision: Do you use them for resources, for your military, to build important buildings, or to play unique leaders? The decision is yours!
