If you are developers or even if you just want to see this project finished soon, help develop it or share it! Openage is the way! A clone of the Age of Empires II Genie Engine for UNIX. It runs on my mac but it’s in a very early stage, so it’s not possible to play it (many things are missing, you can check them in the GitHub issues section).
Another way is to download and use SheepShaver. An open source PPC Apple Macintosh emulator. You can install Mac OS (up to 9.0.4) in it and play the original (and beautiful) Age of Empires II Gold Edition. Personally I’m using this method, waiting for openage to be completely developed.
