About Sumer

Sumer is a unique blend of modern board game design and exciting real-time action, set against the beautiful backdrop of a mysterious ancient civilization.

To claim the throne, four nobles of the ziggurat must compete for Inanna’s favor. She is not easily pleased, but what god is? To prove your worth you must perform sacrifices according to Inanna’s sacred rituals. Place your workers in workshops to gain resources and goats. Offer up the resources to Inanna and use the goats to trade for new workshops and abilities. Only the swiftest and cleverest noble will become the ruler of Sumer.



A Worker Placement Video Game!



Sumer takes the board game mechanic of worker placement to a new level. Each day, you and your competitors will awaken at dawn to begin your worship. Run and jump around the ziggurat to place your workers so they'll collect resources. You only have 2 workers, so you better figure out your strategy, move fast, and claim workshops before your friends beat you to it!



Real-time Dynamic Auctions!



Whoever is willing to sacrifice the most goats gets Inanna's blessing! The auction is simple — just move left or right to change your bid in real time. Each auction is a mind game of bluffing and bravado, and you never know an item’s real price until time is up! Trick your opponents into overpaying for their bids while you snag good bargains for your own!



Key Features


  • 1-4 players - Play local with up to 4 players. Master playing solo or try to beat up to three of your friends.
  • Devious AI - A variety of personalities and skill levels makes the game a challenge for any player.

  • Nuanced strategies - There is no single key to winning. Being quick on your feet and making smart long-term investments are both crucial to victory.
  • Sumerian culture - We’ve worked with professional historians to bring you the ancient civilization that invented writing, beer, and board games.
  • Customizable gameplay - Play the way you want by turning on variants like Big Head mode and Hidden Auction Items.
  • Your controls - The game can be played with controllers, mouse and keyboard, all at the same time!

Sumer hits all the beats of a boardgame but in realtime fun. Game works fantastic on SteamDeck, just mentally remember the position buttons with the icons in game but everything works fantastic. The game itself is brilliant short stints of fun in 10 minute blocks. Easy to pick up and enjoy as much as you want. Praise holy E-Anna!!

A worker placement board game come to the PC! ...Kind of... There is also a bidding section, permanent power ups, temporary advantages, goats as currency, oh and did I mention that rounds are in real time? It has all the excitement of waking up alongside your friends at dawn, then sprinting full speed to the nearest bakery, I mean what more could you want?
Recommended Jul 5, 2019
I backed this game on Kickstarter and had access to the games beta before its full release and Inhave to say, this game is really fun. It’s a fantastic virtual board game of sorts that requires a lot of strategy and is incredibly competitive. There are multiple ways to play the game and earn victory points, allowing you to play the game how you want. The AI for this game are well programmed and are an adequate challenge if you’re playing by yourself or you can play this with friends and compete against each other. Overall it’s a very fun board game/party game and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
