Nínive 2025

In the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, the city of Nineveh stood as one of the greatest centers of power and culture. While many legends point to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon as one of the great wonders of the ancient world, archaeological evidence suggests that these gardens may have existed elsewhere: in Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. As players, you will recreate the Gardens of Nineveh, building a palace filled with floral structures and waterfalls, competing to restore the grandeur of this legendary city.

In Nínive, two players will build a grand palace garden, strategically playing their cards. Each player places their cards on a shared structure, following two simple placement rules. At the end of the game, when all cards have been played, the visible numbers on the cards are tallied. The sum of the visible values of each color determines the winner: whoever has the highest total will win the game and claim the glory of restoring the magnificent Gardens of Nineveh.
