    Sumer is a unique blend of modern board game design and exciting real-time action, set against the beautiful backdrop of a mysterious ancient civilization.

    To claim the throne, four nobles of the ziggurat must compete for Inanna’s favor. She is not easily pleased, but what god is? To prove your worth you must perform sacrifices according to Inanna’s sacred rituals. Place your workers in workshops to gain resources and goats. Offer up the resources to Inanna and use the goats to trade for new workshops and abilities.
    Only the swiftest and cleverest noble will become the ruler of Sumer.

    Sumer is spectacular, a unique digital board game promises to enter my personal board game rotation. It’s approachable whether you’ve played many in-depth tabletop games or if this is your first foray into the deeper board game world. The only snag is that it is at its best with other players. If you have the friends to play with, Sumer is a slam-dunk addition to your Switch collection.

    Digital board games aren’t new, but Sumer shows how the format can excel in the context of a video game. There is plenty of depth that is aided by the fast-paced gameplay as you race to offer your sacrifices.
