About AoE2Grid

AoE2Grid is a daily trivia game made to test your Age of Empires 2 knowledge!

To learn how to play, read this page, or try our amazing interactive tutorial.

How to play

Guess a civilization for each box in the board that matches the criteria specified by row and column categories. To make a guess, click on a box and start typing civilization name. You can pick from all Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition civilizations, except for those introduced in Chronicles: Battle for Greece DLC.

Player has 10 guesses to fill out the grid. Each civilization can only be used once per game board.

• You can get unlimited guesses if you Enable Infinite Mode
• If you Enable Do-Over Mode, you can move a guess to a different square as long as it still meets the criteria

We publish a new board every day at midnight, Central European Time.

Boards are branded with an autorship emoji:

• 🧍 – these boards were meticulously hand-crafted by a fellow human being
• 🤖 – these boards were randomly generated by a friendly bot

You can always return to past boards by clicking Play previous board.

New players are assigned a random username, for example, Yummylicious Rattan Archer. You can always change your username by clicking the ✎ icon next to your username.

After having solved the board, you can click Share result to copy a short message which you can share with your friends.

Finally, you can click Show summary to check all possible answers to the daily board, and also see statistics about how other people are answering it.
