Akropolis: Athena (Expansion)

Akropolis Athena is an expansion of the Akropolis base game, set in the Ancient Mediterranean where architects compete to build prestigious cities. The theme revolves around gaining the favor of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and artisans, to earn riches and honor.

What’s new in the expansion?

The game integrates the core rules of the AKROPOLIS base game with the added challenge of completing Construction cards. Each architect can complete each Construction card only once and must manage their resources and placements carefully to maximize their points. Let’s go through the new play elements introduced by the expansion.

Construction cards

In this game, players must use their skills to complete specific Construction cards by building layouts within their cities that match the cards.

Flexible mini hex tiles

When players acquire parts of the statue, they gain Mini-tiles to enhance their cities. The goal is to strategically build your city while completing these Construction cards to gain additional points and advantages.

The Statue of Athena

As players complete the Construction cards, they can acquire parts of the Statue of Athena. Completing the full 4-piece statue boosts the value of your leftover stones at the end of the game from 1 point each to 5 points each.

The game concludes when there is only one tile left in the Construction Site and all the stacks have been used. The ultimate goal is to have the most prestigious city by the end of the game, as determined by the accumulated points.
