    Good family game. Mechanics and theme fit well. Easy to teach. Nice components. Compact and very cheap game.

  2. 8.5 out of 10

    I find it a VERY interesting light game. Very nice combination of small parts of game. Played twice live in 2-players version, which works really fine. Components are great, game is very tense and interesting.

  3. 6 out of 10

    A quick set collection type of game. Nice on how you have to balance money, asking for money along with what you will be able to actually excavate. Towards the end of the game some very tough choices had to be made. Speculate on how much money would be available. If you can get the cash. Stuff like that. Game looks very nice and the set collection is different as you combine pieces, puzzle like. Another game i want to play again and I feel the rating will go up. Did I say it was quick? That was the icing on the cake. It definately doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Be the first to review “Pergamon (Second Edition)”

Pergamon is a tactical collecting game with a theme based on excavating archaeological discoveries and managing their exhibition.

Set in the year 1878, the first excavations in what is now modern Turkey are uncovering the remains of ancient Pergamon. Soon the precious discoveries will make their way abroad to public exhibitions before a waiting audience, eliciting substantial honor and glory.

The players attempt to gain federal research grants to cover the costs of their excavations through a bidding mechanism. Whoever is modest and less demanding can travel to the excavating areas before his or her competitors, and the rule is first come, first dig. Only fragments will remain for the later expeditions. Recovered treasures are placed in valuable exhibitions, for which the discoverer receives glory and recognition.

The player who accumulates the most glory after 12 rounds wins the game.

The combination of soliciting funds and racing for the best locations to excavate makes Pergamon a variable game with rules that are easily accessible. Players are forced to make choices based on the money they can obtain and the sequence in which they choose where to dig.
