Ostia: Mariner Edition Sets Sail for Stores with Asmodee

There’s smooth sailing ahead for Ostia players. Asmodee is coming aboard as the exclusive distributor for the latest edition of the seafaring strategy game.  

Like the original, Ostia: Mariner Edition whisks players to the bustling ports of ancient Rome, where they compete to create the most powerful trading empire the seven seas have ever seen. Using strategic thinking and smart sailing, players will build their fleets, gather resources, and gain the support of nobility through the game’s mancala-driven system. The new edition adds updated components and new content to the board, so it’s even easier for new fans to join the fun. 

Since its initial release, the original Ostia has become notoriously hard to find — especially without an absurd reseller markup. However, with Asmodee at the helm, the new edition is charting a course for hobby shops and mass retailers all across the U.S. and Canada, making Crafty Games’ classic title more accessible than ever before. 

Ostia: Mariner Edition will start sailing onto store shelves later this year, but you can secure your set now by preordering at pledgemanager.com.
