Description

Ancient Greece was famous for architectural triumphs like the Parthenon and the Temple to Zeus but its citizens would have loved to play Akropolis! With its beautiful tiles, and easy, smooth mechanics, players choose from five different building types to create a new district consisting of houses, temples, markets, gardens and barracks, using specific rules to maximize their points at the end of the game. Best of all – it has an easy to follow, eight-page manual which is well written and illustrated to have you competing with 2-4 players in no time! There are also game variations that can increase its 20-to-30-minute playtime and difficulty level if you want more challenge. If you like tile-laying games, this 2023 Mensa Award winner will be a new family favorite! Along with Cascadia, this game is sure to stay in my collection! ~ Marsha
