Akropolis
At the heart of the Mediterranean, rival cities seek wealth and glory. The most talented architects in ancient Greece stand ready to achieve this goal. In Akropolis, each player is building their own city. Building housing, temples, markets, gardens and barracks, so you can grow your city and ensure it triumphs over the others. Raise its prestige with harmonious planning that conforms to specific rules, and enhance it by building plazas.
Gameplay
Stone is an essential resource, so make sure you do not neglect it. You’ll need enough quarries so you can build higher up, making your city stretch towards the sky.
On your turn you:
- Choose a tile from the construction site
- Arrange it in your city to unlock each district’s full potential
- Build on higher levels, increase the value of your districts and win the game
Each tile type has a scoring conditions, for example residential districts gain points for being adjacent, barracks points for being on the edge of your city. To score any of these district types you need a plaza. Plazas multiply the score from a district type by the number of stars on the plaza. While you can build tiles adjoining your city to the side, you can also place new tiles directly on top of those you’ve already placed. You don’t have to match what’s underneath. A tile on ground level is worth one point for placement. Each additional level of height raises the score by one.
Summarised
Akropolis is genuinely a solid design that feels produced just the right amount for the kind of game it is: a solid filler, or a family game with universal appeal. The art is bright, breezy, and functional. It is therefor not a surprise that the game is starting to pick a up prices. Most recently the As d’Or.
