Play a handcrafted game on leather & wood. Take control of nomadic tribes as Warlord; conquering lands, raising walls, & building cities to become the Rightful King of the ancient Akkadian Empire.
Long Description:
Sabatu (Sa ba’ tu) is the Akkadian word for “Conquest” or “to lay siege to”. The game is set over 5000 years ago in the ancient Akkadian empire. At this time Sargon I is the first ruler to conquer and unite the independent cities and create the first great civilization.
There are two ways to win Sabatu. You may either be the first to capture and control three cities or be the first to capture one city and build four walls. You must control your victory condition for a full round to earn the title of Sarru-Kinu (The Rightful King).
The players move around the board using a maximum of eight standards, each representing an army, collecting armory and spoils, building city walls, and attacking fellow players or their cities to achieve game objectives.
This is a game of Conquest, Adventure, and Building that can be played in 1 to 2 hours.
