Design the King's dream city while racing to line up your pawns.
Who it's for
Two-player pairs who enjoy tile-placement puzzles with a clever secondary layer of positional tension.
Not for you if…
You want a game for more than two players – this is built specifically as a head-to-head duel with no scaling beyond that.
Vibe's take
Tight and dual-focused – every turn juggles your personal city puzzle against a shared tic-tac-toe-style pawn race, keeping both players watching two boards at once.
The Architects of Amytis has two rival architects competing to design the most beautiful city for the King of Babylon. Each turn you claim a building tile by placing an Architect pawn, then build upward and outward on your own city grid, covering older tiles as your skyline grows. Line up three pawns on the shared board and you'll earn a King's favor on top of your city's own scoring.
