## Description

You are the ruler of a thriving city in Ancient Greece. It is up to you to develop it faster and better than your opponents! Every round you can decide what to improve on: Philosophy, Legislation, Culture, Trade, Military... Each will shape the future of your City! Make good use of each roll of the dice, collect taxes, send your army to colonize foreign lands, unlock achievements... and make sure your City will shine throughout Greece! An intense race to development game!

Review: What a fun game! - This game is awesome!! There are many mechanics at play throughout the game so it provides a welcomed challenge. It took about 45 minutes to thoroughly go through the rulebook before playing. It may seem overwhelming at first because of all the different moving parts, but you catch on quickly. Each city state provides different strengths, so you're really not playing the same game twice. It's pleasant-looking, too. Take note: Drachma (coin) and Tax both have owl icons. The tax icon is a black owl- no background, and the Drachma icon is a black circle with a white owl. That threw us off the first game.
Review: Great game - Purchased this on a whim on Cyber Monday deals and played it for the first time last week... Very good quality on the pieces and nice artwork. A bit of a learning curve to it, but I think once you play through slowly 2-3 times you get the idea well enough to speed up the game. If I had to pick something to be critical about, I would say the number of players... Like many new games now, it's limited to just 4 players. In most cases, this is clearly a cash grab as a lot of games immediately release a 5-6 player expansion now; however, that is clearly not the case here, to expand the players in this would take more than a little expansion box with extra player boards and cards/chips. This game could easily have been made for 6 or maybe even 8 players, without hurting 2 player playability. There simply aren't enough games these days for larger groups and this one could have been one of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice civilization builder that is fun and just the right length of play.
*by R***G on June 23, 2025*

This is a fun game that is engaging, yet plays quickly. Components are excellent and the graphic design is top-notch. Your player power does somewhat strongly drive your best path to victory, but your card play and even the other player's choices also factor in to your winning strategy. There are many civilizations to try, each with their own strengths to challenge you.
