Jules Messaud and the Gigamic team introduce Akropolis Athena —an expansion to award-winning Akropolis.

The game integrates the core rules of the Akropolis base game with the added challenge of completing Construction cards to earn a section of the Athena statue and a single city tile. Each architect can complete each Construction card only once and must manage their resources and placements carefully to maximize their points.

The game concludes when there is only one tile left in the Construction Site and all the stacks have been used. Points are counted as usual, but players who have completed the Statue of Athena will gain extra points for their Stones, adding a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay. The ultimate goal is to have the most prestigious city by the end of the game, as determined by the accumulated points.

Am elegant addition to the beloved base game, Akropolis Athena will bring you back to the Mediterranean with a new set of goals to work towards. The expansion plays well with  gamers already in love with the original game and those new to its simple but strategic play.
