Thessaloniki

GAME OBJECTIVE
Players compete to earn the most Victory Points by developing the city of Thessaloniki. You'll need to construct buildings, complete mosaics, send out trade ships, and influence the city council. Whoever manages their resources and available actions best will be the winner.

SETUP
Place the game board in the center of the table. Each player chooses a color and takes their personal board and corresponding components. Shuffle the building tiles, objective cards, and resources. Build a common supply of coins and materials. Determine the first player randomly.

GAME FLOW
The game is played in a series of rounds, during which players take turns performing actions.

1) ACTION PHASE
On your turn, select an available action on the board or your player's board. Key actions include:
- BUILD: Pay resources to place buildings on the map, gaining immediate bonuses or income.
- TRADE: Send ships to exchange goods or obtain rare resources from distant ports.
- INFLUENCE: Advance along temple or council tracks to unlock passive abilities or points.
- MOSAIC: Complete sections of the mosaic on your board to gain victory points and end-of-game bonuses.

2) MAINTENANCE PHASE
After all players have taken their actions, the board resets. New resources become available, market cards are scrolled, and special events occur that can change the rules for the next round.

END OF THE GAME
The game ends after a predetermined number of rounds or when certain common objectives are completed. The final points are calculated by adding:
- Points obtained during the match.
- Points for constructed buildings and completed mosaics.
- Bonus for secret objectives and position on influence tracks.
The player with the highest total wins. In the event of a tie, the player with the most remaining resources wins.
