As king of a vaguely Sumerian/Akkadian city state, you have One Job: Perform the annual sacrifices to the gods. The gods are EXTREMELY ANGRY and will destroy the world if they're not regularly appeased, and since all the other city states do their sacrifices incorrectly, it's all up to you. 2/4

This game is very unfair and unbalanced and there's no way to win*, so all you can do is hope to survive one more year at a time. JUST LIKE REAL LIFE, EH? Good luck. * Actually that's a lie, there is one way to win. Let me know if you find it and I'll give you a cookie. (Maybe.) 3/4

'Artist’s impression of a hall in an Assyrian palace' by Sir Austen Henry Layard. A very colourful drawing of a large hall with wall painting and two statues of lammasu (human-headed winged bulls). In the middle is a group of people, probably a king surrounded by his advisors and scribes.
