ANCIENT EMPIRES will soon be published by SUNSET GAMES, a Japanese company. It is on their 'PRE-100' list, which means they will publish it as soon as they receive 100 pre-orders for the game. I think the pre-order price is cheaper than the eventual price.

Unfortuantely the site is only in Japanese, but you can use google to autotranslate it - dont trust the translations literally, but you can get the gist of what they are saying. Basically you have to contact kokado@sunsetgames.co.jp to express your interest with: Name of customer, Postal code, Address & Telephone number

PRE-100 listing link:  http://www.sunsetgames.co.jp/project100.htm  (scroll to halfway down the page)

Google's translation is dodgy, but here is the page translated.  Googles auto translation of the PRE-100 page

I have also used 'Atlas' to translate the section of Ancient Empires from their PRE-100 site.   The confusing paragraph towards the end discusses replacing the cardbaord counters for increased durability (with what?) and some of the artwork.  Here it is:


'Rise and fall of ancient empire (temporary)'
12,600 yen of pre-order price 10,500 yen/pre-bid price
- A4 size encased
 
Full one map/1,200 units/130 cards/seven charts
One English one Japanese rulebook/rulebook
Designer: Steffen Mothers
 
It is strategy class Maltiprayarzgam for 4-7 people following 'Warring lord' that Sunset sends.
The stage of the game was reproduced with the rule system that is almost the same as the Abaronhil Co. 'Akebono of the civilization', and makes it more detailed, and can be called "Empire management" game exactly.
The product version is multilingual support of Japanese and English, and the rulebook of both languages and the chart are scheduled ..bundle...
 
The one that it was designed by the Australian Steffen Mothers in 1985, and the individual was sold by the shareware was chosen.
The Steffen version discusses the adoption of Tit using the horse in consideration of durability and storage though multiused the card.
The component to You bet it is will be changed completely, and be beautifully reborn of the world highest level.
