You lead a Greek city-state, racing to raise temples, theaters, harbors and vineyards across the peninsula. Build cleverly using the land's own resources and clever chains, and you can put up structures for free. Win by connecting two shrines or simply constructing all thirty of your buildings first.
Who it's for
Euro fans who love efficient placement, tight blocking and a race with two win conditions, especially playing head-to-head at two.
Not for you if…
You want theme, story or a relaxed pace. It is abstract and cerebral, and the resource-chaining puzzle can feel dry or fiddly to some.
Vibe's take
A sharp puzzle of efficient placement and blocking, where chaining free builds races against opponents grabbing the same land.
