The story
The first coin that changes a kingdom is in your hands.
Stranded in the past, a team from the modern world must survive in the legendary city of Sardis. Explore a living historical world, gather resources, establish workshops, negotiate with merchants and build a currency system that people can trust.
But every decision has consequences. Markets respond to your actions, powerful factions pursue their own interests, and a growing economy brings unexpected challenges.
“You’re not just minting coins. You’re shaping the future of a kingdom.”
Planned features
Survive, build and trade — together.
Gather, craft and build
Collect resources, refine precious metals, establish workshops and improve your production capabilities.
From barter to currency
Help transform trade through standardised coins. Metal purity, weight, craftsmanship and public trust determine their value.
A living economy
Changing prices, supply and demand, merchant relationships, shortages, taxation and counterfeit currency.
Adventure and consequences
Protect caravans, explore mines, resolve crises and create unforgettable moments through cooperation.
The mysteries of Sardis
Ancient mechanisms, mysterious artefacts and a story connecting time, power and trust.
These cards describe the intended game. Not every feature is implemented in the current build.
