Corniche

The Ancient Phoenician Game of Cycles and Change: Rediscovered at Last

Since time immemorial, human nature has driven civilization along a never-ending cycle: Peace builds Industry, Industry creates Wealth, Wealth spawns Conflict, and Conflict yields to Peace.

The great Phoenicians were the first people to recognize that fighting the Cycle is pointless; rather, one must adapt to and flow with the change.

Known for the world’s first alphabet, it was actually their most beloved card game, Corniche, that allowed them to master the Cycle and spread it across the Mediterranean, thus conquering the known world.

Now, thanks to the work of anthropologists and translators at the University of North Sussex, the ancient game has been revitalized, rebalanced, and brought to the web for modern audiences to enjoy!

Note: Includes instructions and components to make Suit Rank Indicator. Requires standard deck of cards.
