AGORA

The Mediterranean Trade

Rules

About Agora

Agora is an original strategy game set in the ancient Mediterranean. Trade goods between Greek city-states, manage alliances, and expand influence across a stylized sea map. Designed for short sessions on a single board.

How to play

Each turn: collect income from cities you control, optionally trade resources between cities, optionally launch a fleet to influence a neighboring city. Influence accrues with consistency. Whoever controls the most influential cities at scoring wins.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a typical game?

15–25 minutes for a 4-city session. Larger maps run 30–45 minutes.

How do I gain influence?

Trade between cities you control, deploy fleets to neighbors, and chain consecutive turns through allied ports. Influence rewards consistency more than single big plays.

Is Agora based on a real game?

No — original design. The Mediterranean trade flavor draws on Catan and Concordia but the mechanics are independent.

How do I win?

Control the most weighted-influence cities when the trade-deck exhausts. Some cities count more than others, so prioritize the high-value ones.
