It is 1600 BC and the Minoan island of Thera is prospering. Agriculture and fishing is abundant, culture and science flourish and the people live in peace and harmony. But with the prosperity follows pride. The people venture to challenge the Gods and the punishment is devastating. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, waves and storms, fall upon Thera and the island is slowly swallowed by the sea. The society breaks down and it is every man for himself in a desperate struggle to survive.
Apokalypsis takes the players back to the Ancient Greece. As the wrath of the Gods fall upon
you, you must interpret the omens and foresee the cataclysms. You do this by choosing omen cards
each turn. Once several omens point out the same part, the land tiles may turn into sea and all
meeples on them risk drowning. Move and rescue your meeples to safe tiles, and push opponent
meeples to unsafe tiles. In the end, only one will survive.

like chess and RISK, I moved on to explore "American" games like Diplomacy and Civilization and then
"Euro games" like Settlers and Tigris & Euphrates. Combining my game experience with my history
