Akropolis

Build your city a few tiles at a time: the higher you get the more points each tile is worth (but you’ll lose what’s underneath).

A thinky abstract game that’s easy to teach. One of those games where the feeling of ‘maybe if I’d just done THAT’ leaves you wanting to play another instantly.

Great for: 2-4 players

Plays in: 30 minutes

Who’ll play with me? Friends, people up for a ‘light strategy’ game, architects who will tell you ‘architecture is absolutely nothing like this’.
