About Tyros

The board shows the ancient Mediterranean area from Lebanon to the straits of Gibraltar. Each player receives a number of ships and cities. The map is divided into rectangles. Four starting rectangles are chosen by drawing location tiles. These areas are allocated one of the four differently colored types of empire counters. Each turn, players can play tiles corresponding to locations on the map.
