Lions of Lydia

The ancient world is undergoing a transformation. The kingdom of Lydia has struck the world's first gold coin, and soon, coins will replace bartering and trading as the main way of exchange across civilizations. Lions of Lydia is an exciting bag - management and engine - building game set at the dawn of currency. As a powerful leader, you dispatch merchants to barter for resources and expand your land. When nobles arrive, they introduce Lydian Lion coins with unbeatable buying power. To win, manage your merchant bag well and use tableau cards to enhance their abilities. Regular merchants yield basic resources for engine - building, but without converting resources to coins, you can't buy top - value cards. Noble Lydian merchants and their golden Lion coins are the secret to success. The game ends when enough properties are developed, and a winner is crowned. Can you draft the best merchants, gain the most valuable properties, and master the new golden currency, the Lions of Lydia?
