Race through the streets of ancient Pompeii to earn the favour of the gods and escape before Mount Vesuvius erupts!
The sky darkens, the ground begins to shake; the great Mount Vesuvius pours smoke, rock, and fire into the sky. It is 79 CE, and this is Pompeii’s last day.
As pillars and roof tiles fall and shatter to the ground at your feet, you must navigate the chaos to ensure you make it out.
Collect Resources from around the board to give as offerings to the gods. Earn their favour to win, and, before the last tile is turned, flee through one of the city gates to survive. On an increasingly obstructed board, you must make the most important decision of all: when to run.
Remember: ‘Fortune Favours the Bold.’
About Us
Exekias Games is a small independent games company created by Sam and Fin - two ancient history graduates who believe that curiosity, learning, and fun are inextricably linked. We create board games that immerse players in historical and mythological moments, creating an accurate and detailed setting while never compromising on the fun! We aim to give families and friend groups endless afternoons of competition and laughter, and to spark players’ curiosity about cultures and events. Join us in the past for chaos and good times! (Togas are optional)
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.
