About the game

What is SPQF?

SPQF is a deck-building game about growing your ancient civilization from humble origins to greatness. It plays with 2-4 players in about 30 minutes. Deck management is distilled to a single choice where you choose what kind of civilization you shall be. One led by the military? Perhaps one with a strong agricultural foundation? As your civilization grows, your vision will be more difficult to manage, others will steal your ideas, and trade will flourish. The name SPQF is a play on the ancient Roman abbreviation SPQR, seen still today on ancient structures throughout the city. —description from the publisher
