Akropolis: An Abstract Board Game for Ancient Greek Architects
Published by Ghenos Games and designed by Jules Messaud , Akropolis is an abstract, strategic board game for 1-4 players , set in an ancient Greece waiting to be built. In quick 20-30 minute games, you'll take on the role of an architect determined to make their city the most harmonious and prestigious. Aligning temples, markets, gardens, and barracks isn't enough: you'll also need to master multi-level construction to increase the value of your neighborhoods... and your personal satisfaction.
Perfect for those looking for a family game with a good dose of challenge, Akropolis rewards geometric planning and a keen eye. Each turn presents you with clear but important choices: do you take the tile you need or the one your opponent needs? Do you build immediately, or wait for the right move to level up? The pace is fast, the depth surprising, and the desire to replay is practically guaranteed. All this with streamlined rules and impeccable scalability, even in solo play.
Why you should try it
- Accessible and brilliant strategy : simple to explain, but with great room for optimization
- Multi-level construction : each floor adds value and new opportunities
- Great for family or solo play - scales well from 1 to 4 players
