In Alexander the Great: Founder of an Empire the players follow the young Macedonian King and his small but effective army on their long campaign of conquest in the East. They march with him through the Near East to Persia, and then well into the Indian Empire. On the way, enemies are subdued, cities are founded and magnificent temples are built. As a result, Alexander will rule a huge empire, where all citizens enjoy the same rights. It's frontiers are the Danube in the West, the Caucasus Range in the North, Egypt in the South and the Himalayas in the East. If this young visionary hadn't become ill and died much too soon, he would have surely expanded his empire further west, as he was preparing to do...

The players earn points for conquering provinces, building temples and founding cities. The winner is the player who has the most points at the end of the game. He may call himself heir to the throne of Alexander the Great.
