Race through ancient Pompeii to earn the favour of the gods and escape before Mount Vesuvius erupts!
In this thematic board game, players must compete to earn the most Favour Tokens, by taking resources to the gods' temples. At the same time, you'll have to navigate and manipulate an increasingly destroyed board, as you race to make it out of the city before it's too late!
Enter real locations from Pompeii, pick up everyday items as offerings to the gods, and use historically accurate event and trivia cards to your advantage.
2-4 players, ages 8+, 30-60 minutes

Why 'Exekias'?
Exekias is one of the most famous ancient Greek vase painters. Our favourite vase painting is of the two legendary Greek heroes, Ajax and Achilles, playing a board game! You can see Ajax in our logo.
