An extension for Akropolis

No more rivalries between cities: players join forces to build a majestic capital and honor the ancient gods. Every decision counts, every stone laid leads the city to the heavens. Good cooperation and a bit of strategy are the keys to making the Capital shine throughout the ancient world.

Players choose a scenario from Corinth, Sparta or Athens together, each with a different difficulty. Each player is given a starting tile, while the remaining tiles form the heart of the Capital. Three Architectural Challenge tiles are revealed, along with their corresponding Divine Altars. Players also receive Stone cubes and City tiles, to keep in their hands like cards. Unlike the base game, there is no river.

Course of the tour

In turn, each player can, while respecting the rules of the base game:

• Add a tile to your City (free)
  • Earn Stones by Covering Quarries
  • Validating Architectural Challenges
• Help build the Capital (cost: 1 stone)
  • Laying a tile in the Capital

Once his action is completed, the player draws a tile to always have 3 in hand.

Architectural Challenges & Divine Altars

Each completed Challenge allows you to set up a Divine Altar in the Capital. In this expansion, the Places work slightly differently, for a Place to be counted at the end of the game, it must contain an Altar of its color. Players can unlock new Challenge slots by paying 5 Stones.

Endgame

The game ends when all the City tiles have been played and the hands are empty. Only Capital Squares with valid Altars are counted. Personal Cities do not earn any points. The final score is compared to that of the chosen scenario. Managing Stones, coordinating placements, and anticipating Challenges are essential to achieving collective victory.

Requires base game.
